colonectomy in a paraplegic

Posted By daniel on December 14, 1998 at 18:15:50:







I am a paraplegic T7 and i have had ulcerative for 4 years.
Taking prednisone and asacol. Because of persistent incontinence problems
i am now considering having a colonostomy.
I would like to know if being a paraplegic and taking corticoseroid will put me
at greater risk. assuming no complication how can i expect the minimum recovery
time after surgery will be /
anyone out there who is a paraplegic and suffer from UC or had to have
a colonectomy ? thanks
