I am going thru the same thing and if your colorectal surgeon
recommended it then he knows what he's doing. The reason is
preventative, the ureters from your kidney to your bladder are in the
way in a bowl resection and they put the sint in to be able to keep
track of the ureter and not damage it.
Good luck
