2014年9月25日 · Yes I have had the colon interposition after an esophajectomy. Last year I had an operation to resect some of the interposed colon.

2024年4月10日 · As you know, a torturous colon can require emergency surgery. Should you elect to get non-emergency surgery, you select the surgeon. If you are in an emergency situation, you won't be able to select the surgeon. Case in point: my brother shattered his elbow. He had emergency surgery by a trauma doctor.
