continent ileostomy: *** pouch, k-pouch, bcir surgeons in uk


Thu, November 21, 2019 9:31 PM

Hi all. Does anybody know of any surgeons currently still peforming continent ileostomy procedures such as the BCIR and Kock Pouch(K-Pouch) in the UK on the NHS or privately? Additionally, has anybody from the UK travelled abroad to get the procedure done? I am seriously considering it and willing to go abroad for the operation if not available in the UK. I am confused as to why they are not done more often. Their success rate is now very high and failure rate low since modifications were made to the valve. Many thanks.
