Topic Explanation:
The discussion is about a CT scan revealing a blockage near an ileostomy, potentially caused by scar tissue. The original poster's gastroenterologist suggested that surgery might be necessary to remove the scar tissue. The poster is seeking advice and experiences from others who have had similar issues with partial blockages of the ileostomy.

Advice and Insights:
1. Symptoms leading to a CT scan can include pain after eating, which may be relieved by passing gas. This could indicate scar tissue, although it may not always be diagnosed as such.
2. Partial blockages due to scar tissue can cause uncomfortable symptoms, but surgical intervention can provide relief.
3. Some procedures to clear scar tissue can be done in a doctor's office and may take less than an hour, with symptoms subsiding in a few days.
4. Resection surgery may be necessary for those with Crohn's disease and inflammation causing scarring, which can also involve moving the stoma.
5. Non-surgical management of blockages can include the use of an NG tube and fasting, allowing the blockage to clear on its own.
6. Post-surgery recovery can involve dealing with pain, especially after hernia repairs, and precautions should be taken to avoid pain from sneezing or coughing.
7. Using a pillow to support the abdomen when sneezing or coughing can help manage pain after ileostomy surgery.
