Colostomy reversal botched, suit says

‘A surgery meant to reverse a colostomy on a Dover man went horribly wrong last year, resulting in fecal mater being discharged from his penis and urine passing through his colon, according to a lawsuit filed in Superior Court.

During the procedure, the suit alleges doctors at Kent General Hospital improperly stapled the colon to the bladder instead of the rectal stump. This left the patient with diarrhea, as well as gas and liquid stool passing from his penis.

The man was taken to Christiana Hospital 12 days later to have the procedure corrected, but not until after much suffering and embarrassment as well as “disfigurement and disability,” the suit claims. It also affected life at home with his wife, who also is suing the three doctors involved in the allegedly botched procedure, Surgical Associates P.A. and Bayhealth Medical Center Inc.’

    You may already have heard of colon cleanse as an effective cure for constipation. There is more to this process, however, than getting rid of constipation and preventing the occurrence of hemmorhoids.

    All of us fall prey to harmful toxins every day, whether from an unhealthy diet, stress, or a polluted environment. Over time, these toxins can take a toll on our colon, clog it and cause a wide variety of health concerns. Colon cleanse can effectively remove these toxins, make your colon work more efficiently and reverse the damage that the toxins have caused.
