Turnbull Cutait Operation

Posted by masonfoxy @masonfoxy, 1 day ago

Hi, I’m from the UK and only the second person in my county to had the Turnbull cutait operation. I’m keen to hear from others who have had this operation. I’m post 6 weeks from my second op and have LARS. I’m in constant chronic pain and take codine. I have many questions like how long will my pain go on for, has anyone tried biofeedback, will I always be fecal incontinent, Will I always need to wear pull ups, has anyone had a stoma fitted because this operation failed. I look forward to hear from you.

sorry you have to go through that pain. I have never heard of this operation, but it appears to me that the idea is to prevent leakage, though I would imagine that any operation there would disrupt normal bowel movements while it heals. I hope this is the case for you and you heal up very soon.
