This topic is about someone who had an emergency colostomy due to diverticulitis with complications and was scheduled for a reversal surgery. However, the surgery was postponed because of too much scar tissue, and now they are waiting for a safer time to proceed. In the meantime, they have developed a hernia near the stoma and are concerned about whether it can be fixed during the reversal and the potential for more scar tissue.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Whether the hernia can be repaired during the reversal surgery depends on its location and size:
- One person shared that their hernia was not at the site of the anastomosis, so their surgeon decided to repair it in a separate operation later.
- Another person mentioned that their friend had a hernia near the stoma, and their surgeon was able to repair it at the same time as the stoma reversal.

2. Many people understand the worry about having multiple surgeries and the risk of more scar tissue. They suggest discussing the options of combining the procedures or doing them separately with the surgical team.
