Ileorectostomy

Ileorectostomy is a surgical procedure in which a stoma (opening) is made between the ileum and rectum. This is a way to treat intestinal obstruction due to Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and other diseases.

An ileostomy may be placed as a temporary measure until more complete treatment, such as an intestinal transplant, can be performed. It allows the patient to eat and receive essential nutrients through a tube that is inserted into the rectum.

Currently, ileostomies are used less frequently than colostomies, as they are more complex to care for and require more independence from the patient. However, for some patients, ileostomy may be the only option to save life.

Ileostomy (ileostomy) is a surgical procedure in which a fistula is formed between the small intestine and the anterior abdominal wall. Most operations to form an ileostomy are performed to remove the malignant neoplasm that has led to the occurrence of obstruction. And also for colitis, to ensure bowel movement, for example, after resection of the colon, due to atony or during the formation of intussusception.
