With complex colon and rectal disorders, reoperative surgery is sometimes necessary. Reoperative surgery is a repeat operation for the same condition if the disease advances or recurs, or as follow-up to a previous surgery.

At 五月天视频, our team of colon and rectal surgeons are specialists in reoperative surgery and often perform complex operations. Our goal with reoperative surgeries is to maximize your health outcomes and minimize complications in these challenging cases.

Reoperative Surgical Treatments

Our team of colon and rectal surgeons are specialists in reoperative surgery and often perform complex operations. We also aim to perform most surgeries as minimally invasive as possible.

At 五月天视频, we offer the most advanced and comprehensive reoperative surgical treatments, including:

鈼      Enterocutaneous Fistula (ECF) Repair: Most ECFs occur after bowel surgery, but may also be caused by inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. An ECF is an abnormal connection between the small or large bowel and the skin.

鈼      Colocutaneous Fistula Repair: A colocutaneous fistula is an abnormal passage between the colon and the skin. It is a very rare complication of diverticulitis. Learn more about surgical treatment for fistulas. 

鈼      Ostomy/Stoma Reversal: A stoma reversal is surgery to connect your bowel together after a colostomy or ileostomy (also called ostomies). A stoma reversal can be done if there is a large enough section of healthy bowel left to be rejoined.

鈼      Ostomy/Stoma Revisions: Stoma complications are common. Most do not require reoperation. If it does require operation, when surgery is indicated, numerous options are available.
