Re: [QUAD-L] Mitrofanoff Procedure

[Stacy Harim]

I was supposed to get the surgery in January, but it doesn't look like the timing is going to work out.  I am thinking about spring break but still not sure.  I was told I would be in the hospital a week.   Stacy ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 4:58 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Mitrofanoff Procedure Thanks Liz for the update on this proceedure.  Having a doctor that has performed a number of these precedures instills more confidence in the consideration of having it done.

I self cath through a stoma in my belly button.  There is no apparent "flap". it looks the same as it did before surgery.  I have some scarring but it has faded.  My doc used part of my intestine.  They also may use your appendix. Talk to your surgeon and tell him you want to talk to HIS patients that have had the procedure. It's a big surgery. At least 10 days in the hospital. >>
