Hole found in colon
I am looking for help my husband is a C5/6 complete quadriplegic
When I was doing his bowel program I felt a small hole near his rectal opening. He had a Ct and MRI completed which led to a loop colostomy. A 8cm x 3cm opening was found that leads to his tailbone. The colorectal doctor is unsure of how to repair at this time. The infection did not each his bone. He is on IV antibiotic at home as well as oral.
Has anyone had to heal an internal Fistula/hole/abscess or whatever this started as???
