What Is The Prognosis Of The Patient Who Has Undergone Volvulus Repair?

volvulus repair
What is the prognosis do for someone who had a volvulus repair? They informed me this was most likely congenital. I was 25 at the time and they told NE this typically happens in older patients. I have flare ups of blockage from scar tissue which causes me to go on a clear liquid diet for 2 to 3 days. What can I expect as I age? My gastric Dr. only opted fire surgery if the scar tissue got bad enough as he said it comes back.
