Introduction to Ileostomy

Ileostomy is a surgical procedure in which the end of the small intestine (ileum) is brought through the abdominal wall to create an opening, known as a stoma. This allows waste to bypass the colon and exit the body through a stoma bag. Ileostomy may be temporary or permanent, depending on the patient’s medical condition.

Surgical Steps of Ileostomy

The surgery begins with an abdominal incision, followed by mobilization of the ileum. The surgeon then creates a stoma by bringing a loop or end of the ileum through the abdominal wall. The intestine is sutured in place, and a stoma appliance is fitted for waste collection. Depending on the case, the ileostomy may serve as a temporary measure to allow the colon to heal or as a permanent solution when the colon must be removed.

Why Ileostomy is Done?

  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis).
  • Colorectal cancer requiring colon removal.
  • Bowel obstruction or trauma.
  • Congenital abnormalities of the colon or rectum.
