What Causes Death Of Intestines?

in july 2009 i had a terrible stomachache that just kept getting worse. finally i went to hospital and was in there for two days when they found out that my bowels had flipped and part of my intestines had died. they did surgury and i have colostomy. they have ran lots of tests and checked me for hirschburns disease and said i didnt have it. now they want to do my take down without giving any reason why my bowels flipped in the first place and why my intestines died. im scared to have take down in fear that it will happen again. any suggestions?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Even though your treating surgeon might be the best possible person to explain you the reasons, I would presume that the non viability of the intestines could have been due to jeopardizing of the vascular supply of the intestines due to either a vascular cause or due to any kind of pressure over it. Now that they might have excluded any cause for a recurrence of the problem, you had been advised for a reconstruction of the intestines for a normal passage of your stool. For further information, as I already told you, your treating doctor would be the best person for a detailed explanation.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
