Has anyone had an anastomotic leak after colon resection surgery? I understand after researching that you can get a leak with the stitching the surgeons perform on the colon and it can become sepsis.
So many things can cause this anastomotic leak like surgeon failure to attach the colon together properly, immune disorder, prednisone, coughing or sneezing. How bad does coughing have to be before the stitching comes apart.
So scared of all this plus the thought of having the surgery soon. I am not sure if I will get the bag yet. The surgeon says he won't know until he goes in and sees how much diseased part I have. I only hope I don't.
Hope someone will post a reply, thanks.
