My husband needed to have a CT Colonosvopy as the colonoscopy could not get past his tumour.

He has a stoma from an ileostomy.

He was sent by the surgeon for the test but the radiography department say they can’t do it as they cannot inflate his colon with air when there is no where for it to escape from.

Any ideas?

Has anyone had a CT Colonoscopy when they have an ileostomy stoma?
