Susaloh, You mean a bowel resection for IBS? I don't think they do that just for IBS. There would have to be a clear dysfunction of the colon to precipitate this kind of drastic action. I would think that there must be some other underlying problem with the colon for most surgeons to do this operation.You could do a search here for "Bowel Resection" and see if you can find more info.BQ
