Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.Read and understood the history of multiple surgery for Diverticultis , small bowel resection, ileostomy , Incisional Hernia repair, Right ovary not sen on ultrasonography. With so many surgeries it is possible that the ovary is difficult to be seen.For proper evaluation CT scan of the abdomen only can show the real position of the ovary on the right side and associated problems related to bowel, lower abdominal pains, skinny stools and all. The results of the CT and Enteroclysis will help to decide future course of action.
