This topic is about someone who has a loop ileostomy and is preparing for a reversal surgery. However, a routine test has shown a possible small leak at the rectal anastomosis site, which is causing concern about whether this will delay the planned surgery.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. It's important not to worry too much before the CT scan results are in. The scan will help confirm whether there is indeed a leak.
2. If a leak is confirmed, the surgeon will provide guidance on the next steps. It's best to wait for their professional advice.
3. Feeling anxious is natural, but try to focus on the fact that worrying now won't change the outcome. It's best to take things one step at a time.
4. Remember, you are not alone in this. Many people have gone through similar experiences and can offer support and reassurance.
