A member asked:
Would you advise bowel removal for a six cm stricture of the small bowel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: How narrow is the lumen at the site of stricture? What caused the stricture? Do you have any symptoms of intestinal obstruction? If what caused the stricture has abated and you do not have intestinal symptoms, you may wait and watch.
