\"\"<\/a>Surgical formation of an opening of the ileum on the abdominal wall, performed to treat severe ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n

\n

Surgically created opening in the lower small intestine (ileum), brought to the abdominal surface for the purpose of evacuating feces. May be temporary or permanent.<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical operation to make an opening between the ileum and the abdominal wall to act as an artificial opening for excretion of faeces.<\/p>\n

\n

Procedure in which a part of the ileum is brought through the abdominal wall for defecation.<\/p>\n

\n

A type of ostomy performed on the ileum (small intestine), often because of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn\u2019s disease).<\/p>\n

\n

Surgical formation of an opening of the ileum onto the abdominal wall through which feces pass; performed in cancer of the colon, severe or recurrent Crohn\u2019s disease, or ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical procedure in which a stoma, an artificial opening, is created in the abdominal wall. After an ileostomy, the lower part of the ileum (the small intestine) opens through the stoma to allow the discharge of feces into a device attached to the skin. An ileostomy is different from a colostomy, in which the colon opens through a stoma.<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical operation in which the ileum is brought through the abdominal wall to create an artificial opening (stoma) through which the intestinal contents can discharge, thus bypassing the colon. Various types of bag may be worn to collect the discharge. The operation is usually performed in association with colectomy; or to allow the colon to rest and heal in cases of colitis; or following injury or surgery to the colon.<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical passage through the abdominal wall, through which a segment of ileum is exteriorized. An end stoma or loop stoma may be created. Feces or urine drain into a pouch worn on the abdomen.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

In this surgical procedure, the ileum, which is the lower part of the small intestine, is cut and brought through the abdominal wall to create an artificial opening called a stoma. Waste is expelled from the remaining ileum into either a disposable bag (stoma bag) or a pouch made from the end of the ileum, which is placed beneath the skin (known as a continent ileostomy). In the case of a continent ileostomy, the feces are regularly emptied through a soft catheter. An ileostomy can be either permanent or temporary.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

People with severe, uncontrolled ulcerative colitis typically undergo a permanent ileostomy. This operation is performed after a total colectomy, which involves the removal of the colon and rectum.<\/p>\n

\n

Temporary ileostomy is occasionally performed simultaneously with partial colectomy, which involves removing a portion of the colon. This allows the colon time to heal before waste material passes through it. Alternatively, temporary ileostomy may be done as an emergency treatment for intestinal obstruction. In this procedure, a stoma is created from a loop of the intestine and brought to the skin surface. Once the intestine has healed, a second operation is conducted to close the temporary ileostomy.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

During the recovery period, patients receive counseling and practical training in stoma care or the drainage of continent ileostomies. It usually takes around six weeks for patients to achieve full recovery from the operation.<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical procedure in which the ileum is brought to the surface of the abdominal wall to create an opening for the discharge of its contents. This is performed in cases of cecum or colon obstruction or disease.<\/p>\n
