I have been working with three doctors and talking about a surgery that could be in my future. I'm not sure of the name of the surgery but it has to do with having a button on your stomach and being able to clean yourself out after you put a tube in it. I'm not really sure and I was wondering if anyone had any information on this? I know there is a surgery called the Mace surgery which is someone similar. If anyone has any information please let me know!

Hi there ,
I looked into this surgery a few times . They called it a Koch (like: coke) pouch .
I was told it had a lot of potential problems , possible fistula at opening . They described it as a plastic type of plug with a hole for a catheter . I consulted with a Gastro in Kings College London and he did not recommend it , so I'm not sure how it is now .
If you have any more info please let me know .
Another good site is " ostomyland "

Meetanostomate has been a great avenue and resource to meet new people with the same challenges, fall in love, fall out of love but most of all fall out of loneliness that comes with self-doubt…
