The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and involves creating a small hole in the wall of the colon and rectum. The surgeon then connects the two areas through this hole, creating a new connection between them.

After creating an ileoproctostomy, the doctor can begin to administer nutrition through this new area to help the patient regain their ability to digest food and have regular bowel movements.
