Hi Trish, I moved your message here to this discussion:
- Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/redundant-tortured-colon/

I did this so you can connect easily with other members talking about redundant colon.

You have a very unique question. I can't imagine that you cannot have surgery because you have a redundant colon. In fact, surgery is a treatment option for people with redundant colon who have complications due to their twisted colon. Most people do not have complications and aren't even aware that they have an abnormally long colon that has extra twists and loops.

I would definitely tell your oncology surgeon about your redundant colon and ask if that will have any impact on your surgery for uterine cancer or for recovery.

Are you able to contact the GI surgeon who did the colonoscopy to find out what was meant?
