A member asked:
Sigmoidectomy in 2014 for diverticulitis. just had a reinsurance. dr. is talking about removing large colon. is this reasonable?

Somewhat: I assume the operation was done laparoscopically, the pitfall is an inadequate distal resection which results in an early recurrence. I'd like to see you evaluated by a trained colorectal surgeon.
