Rectal stents for stricture treatment

Member Posts: 15
Has anyone had any experience with a rectal stent? I have had two colon resections and a temporary ileostomy or at least I hope it is temporary. I developed a stricture shortly after bowel obstruction surgery. I had another bowel resection after that but the stricture has returned. They will not reverse the ileostomy until I have a more open path so to speak. One of the options they are now considering is a rectal stent. So far I haven't found anyone that has gone through this....any information would be helpful. Thanks
