A member asked:
Is there any way to fix or heal a sigmoid stricture with having a surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery consult: 36 year old gentleman with a question about sigmoid stricture. You should discuss your options with an expert in General Surgery. It depends what is causing your sigmoid stricture. The indication for Surgery is when there is no clear cause of your sigmoid stricture and adenocarcinoma needs to be ruled out. Imaging studies and presence of diverticular disease are contributory to the decision.
