    Dr Stamos, U C Irvine medical center....

    Specializes in low bowel resections.  He did my resection, removed sigmoid colon and rectum, fashioned a pouch out of my descending colon, put the whole mess back together, and I have been successfully using it for over 8 years now!

     

    But, Dr. Lenz is fantastic, according to one of my patient partners....

     

    Hugs, Kathi

    ****'s colon surgeon at Cedar Sinai was Phillip R. Fleshner.  He was outstanding.
