Good morning. I experienced the same situation two years ago. Failed colonoscopy due to stricture/ diverticulosis in sigmoid colon. GI doc ordered a virtual colonoscopy (ct scan) of colon. Results showed stricture. in addition the GI doctor ordered Barium study of colon. Meeting with surgeon followed. Elective Laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy 19cm (7-8inches) recommended. Post surgery 19 months and doing well. Good luck & God Bless!

Did you need a stoma bag? If so, for how long? Also, what was your age at the time?

Did you have robotic surgery for your resection?

Why were you having the colonoscopy?
