A member asked:

Can ulcerative colitis after having colostomy reversal surgery?

Dr. Neria Hebbar answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Not to worry: If there is no history of ulcerative colitis in the past there is no reason to believe a reversal procedure will precipitate one. If you did not have ulcerative colitis before surgery you don't have to worry about it after.
