j-pouch

i had to have my colon and rectum removed 10 years ago. i have a j-pouch and everything has been working wonderful ever since. my question is about another surgery i am having. i have to have an exploratory laparoscopy to remove a dermoid cyst from my left ovary. should i be concerned about this affecting my pouch? my gyn is telling me that i have nothing to worry about. just want to get a little insight from someone in this field. thanks.

Hi brynrene,
The surgery done for dermoid cyst of left ovary will not affect the 'J' pouch , if it is done by an experienced surgeon.
