In a small rural hospital in Missouri. Had three actually to correct the problem. This was in the early 80's. Came through it fine and healthy. Several months of discomfort and a temporary colonoscopy device for him, but then total health. I'm sure the surgery has improved immensely since then. Good luck with your decision.
