No large intestines, few inches of small. can dr do ileostomy reversal? says i have more anal than he thought, will use 4 what i lack in intestines ??

Uncertain anatomy: Unfortunately, there really is no way to know until the time of surgery. Estimates of usable remaining bowel, which may be noted on prior operative reports, is still an educated guess. Assume that your stomach ends somewhere above your belly button, and draw an imaginary line between that and your anus. If this distance is greater than the "few inches" of small intestine, it may be a challenge.
