colitis and ulcers Posted: 04-30-08 18:02pm


Why would surgery be scheduled then cancelled after patient is informed half of colon is dead? bleeding ulcers were taken care of but colon has not been. what could have changed to bring about such a drastract change?

I don't really know too much about this topic, but maybe the patient should just ask why: he has the right to know the extent of his condition and if it is still operable or not. I will copy this topic over to the Stomach/Ulcers/Colon disorders and see if you don't find more answers there.
