There have been quite a few searches for ileocolic resection landing here lately. I assume you are coming here hoping for information on the procedure. Rest assured I have no idea what they did. All I know is I fell asleep on that gurney and woke up with a bunch of stitches in my belly. Oh and a really cool tube going down my throat.
If your doctor is recommending this procedure, you are right to research it. A little knowledge goes a long way towards easing your mind. I highly recommend the surgery as it does help. I unfortunately have already begun to show signs of my immune system attacking my colon. So yes I will have to get it done again in the future. Good luck.
I am so not looking forward to this. I hate shots and getting one every month does not appeal to me!
