Does anyone have information related to a colonoscopy using stoma access? How difficult was the visualization? I have a parastomal hernia. Does this complicate the procedure? Obviously, too, I am apprehensive about the bowel prep prior to the procedure. I have found a reference to irrigation sleeves and believe that should help with the output, but am concerned with how long after the prep solution is ingested it takes to appear through the stoma and how long until the output stops. Since I am severely hampered with a back injury, I would like some suggestions for the most comfortable way to position myself for the prep process. Thanks for your responses.
