cont. diversion
Posted: 2006-01-29 12:45:35
I have FAP. Colon removed in 1985-permanent ileostomy in 1986-takedown didn't work. Had prostatectomy in Jan. 2002 due to prostate cancer. Each time the catheter was removed, my urethra would close off. Finally had to have a supra pubic tube in Mar. 2002. The pain from the catheter rubbing in my bladder is horrendous. Have to change the cath. every two-three weeks or it plugs up and adheres to bladder(ouch!) Am contemplating urinary diversion using my bladder with section of small intestine as an outlet(with a stoma.) I have a bad history with scar tissue. Would like input from this type of surgery, and especially from double ostomites.
