Colon pathology: Depending on the original indication for the ostomy you may or may not be a candidate for ostomy reversal. Colonoscopy and prior pathology report will help your surgical team decide. The parastomal hernia can be repaired, or the ostomy reseated as a separate issue. Take family with you to consult. Good luck.

Ask surgeon: The colon issue sounds like aganglionosis or Hirschsprungs disease which affects part or all of large bowel and usually diagnosed in early childhood. It can occur with neurofibromatosis. The person best equipped to answer this question is your surgeon.
