Rectum Surgery

[pmitra0123]

Does anyone have a situation like mine where my Crohn's is the worst in the rectum? My rectum is refractory and severely inflamed but other areas of the colon are responding to medicines.

Is there any surgical option for me? Has anyone had any surgery done for something like this?

Yes I've had fistula repairs and abseses drained and my rectum is almost always in flamed and painful

Unfortunately anal disease is difficult to treat which is probably why they are considering the ileostomy. I'd certainly try meds and minor surgery before opting for it.

I'm not sure what you have done thus far.
