A member asked:
What do you suggest if i'm constantly having partial bowel obstruction from scar tissue and a stoma hernia after 4 abdonimal surger.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hernia: Well, additional surgery can cause even more scar tissue to form. However, if your bowel obstructions are occurring more frequently and are more severe, surgery may be the only answer. If the obstructions are from the stoma hernia, you should probably get that fixed.
