appx what percentage develop a stricture after surgery 4 colon/bladder fistula & diverticulitis? is the balloon treatment (dillation?)very successful?

Question

Developed stricture after surgery 4 colon/bladder fistula & divtclitis. Is it because of scarring or reoccurence of divticlitis that I got stricture?

Answer 1

Not frequent: If stricture develops may be due to recurrences of disease, balloon dilation may help, will require resection for better out come.

Answer 2

Not often: To be honest in 14 years of doing this operating I have seen, maybe one stricture and yes balloon treatment can be effective depending on severity of the stricture and length. The other question is the trimming for the stricture. How log after surgery. If it was immediate after surgery then this is a technical issue and not scarring.

Answer 3

Yes: These days surgery and specialists who are very good at surgical repair.

Answer 4

Absolutely!: Having seen an occasional child who didn't have their cleft lip/palate repaired eve the worst repair is better than no repair. Speech and nutrition are usually much improved after palate repair even if the repair isn't 100% successful. I don't think too many children don't get a lip repair even in third world countries thanks to all the worldwide volunteer efforts.

Answer 5

Absolutely: It is the only way to fix the defect. Results vary based upon the severity of the defect and the experience of the surgeon.

Answer 6

Very Few: While laser eye surgery (lasik, prk) is very safe, there can rarley be complications that may affect vision. Most commonly, the eye may not achieve perfect vision, and an enhancement may be needed later. Dry eyes can occur and last for several months, and small abrasions may be present for a few days. More rarely, surface skin can sometimes grow under the flap, causing blurred vision.

Answer 7

See specialist: A podiatrist or orthopedist who treats ankles should be able to evaluate and offer treatment options.

Answer 8

Have it : Re- evaluated by a doctor. X-rays should be taken, and options can then be discussed with you.

Answer 9

Sequelae: The liking underlying source of the pain is probably the injury that necessitated the surgery, rather than the surgery itself. It is time to see a doctor for a complete evaluation.

Answer 10

Depends on u & type: This depends on the type of surgery done and what condition you are in at the time of surgery and whether there were any complications with the surgery. For an outpatient microdisectomy, it can range from activity restriction for several weeks and some home exercises to a full fledged physical therapy program of at least 6 weeks with a more involved surgery like a multilevel fusion.

Answer 11

Varies: It depends completely on the nature of the surgery performed. Some of the minimally invasive surgeries we perform have little or no down time. Other, much more extensive surgeries, may have recovery times that extend several months. Thank you for your question.

Answer 12

You need to ask the : Doc who did your surg as that doc knows how everything went and u didnt say what type of surg you had, laparoscopy, robot open? And did you have any problems after like bleeding or infection, etc. Or none, so call you surgeon and ask him or her, and don't go sue the doc unless there was really something that happened or was done that was below the standard of care so get a 2nd opinion if neces.
