So I developed ulcerative colitis not long after I donated in 2011. I've finally reached the point where I'm scheduled to start surgical removal of my colon (step1 surgery) this month and hopefully construction of a jpouch (step 2 surgery) at the end of November.
My surgeon does laparoscopic surgery and thinks he can reopen the same incision from the nephrectomy. Has anyone re-used their incision?
Now I need to brush up on all the surgical preparation and recovery hints! How many internal organs can come out of one person?
