I have talked with two surgeons. After removing my rectum, one will bring the sigmoid colon down and connect it directly to the remaining rectum with staples; the other surgeon will bring the sigmoid colon down and loop it back on itself in a J fashion to form a holding chamber for storage until it is convenient to go the the bathroom.
Does anyone have experience or knowledge of these procedures and which would be preferable.

There is also a lot of great support there if you are dealing with an ileostomy or a colostomy.0
