Specializes in General Surgery

Ace: This Is a surgery to use the appendix for flushing out the colon in cases of colonic inertia. It is not common to perform. You will want to ask how often your surgeon does this operation and what feedback from the patients. The options may be to remove the colon and that too has limitations but may also have to be considered. Ask for a consultation
