Reply to "K Pouch rotation for failed nipple valve"

Yes. My K pouch worked marvelously for over 30 years until I developed continence issues. I have several posts on this forum. I had this procedure done in September 2017, it wasn’t totally successful. In June 2018 repairs were made and everything worked great for a couple of months then leaking issues returned. I’m scheduled for another consult at the Cleveland Clinic on March 18th to see what can be done to repair the valve. I’m going to exhaust all attempts before I give up on my K pouch. It’s ironic how long my initial valve worked so well for so long and now it’s been so hard to get a properly working valve. 

Where would you have surgery? There aren’t many surgeons left who will work on a K pouch anymore
