An ileostomy is a surgical procedure that changes the way feces leaves the body. It involves creating a stoma on the abdominal wall, typically by bringing up a portion of the small intestine. This stoma collects feces in an ostomy bag. Ileostomies can be temporary or permanent, and there are two main types: end and loop. End ileostomies bring the end of the small intestine through the abdominal wall, while loop ileostomies involve bringing up a loop of the small intestine.
Various ileostomy indications include colon cancer, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and blocked or ruptured large intestines. Ileostomy surgery can be performed laparoscopically, using small incisions in the tummy, or openly, with a single larger cut.

ileostomy: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Preparation: Before an ileostomy procedure, the surgeon will provide instructions for preparation, which may include taking laxatives or using an enema to cleanse the bowels. Fasting and following specific dietary guidelines are typically advised. Clear liquids are recommended, with water avoided for 12 hours prior to surgery.
During the procedure: Under general anesthesia, a surgeon will open the abdomen to find the ileum. They will decide whether to use a large vertical incision or small incisions. Using either the end or loop technique, the surgeon will pull the small intestine up to a new belly hole, suture it, and attach an ostomy bag to the opening. This procedure can be performed with an open or laparoscopic approach.
After the procedure: Following an ileostomy, most patients require hospitalization for a few days to receive medical monitoring, care for and change of the ostomy bag, and to ensure healing.
Ileostomy recovery: An ileostomy is a significant surgery that takes six to eight weeks to recover. Post-surgery, patients typically follow a special soft diet with a list of allowed and forbidden foods. If the patient underwent a temporary ileostomy, healthcare providers will inform about ostomy reversal, typically after healing and regaining anus function.
Post-procedure care: Post-ileostomy surgery guidelines:
- Regular stoma cleaning with warm water and gentle skin cleanser.
- Training on applying and emptying ostomy pouches.
- Initially, a low-fiber diet is recommended to heal the digestive system.
- Gradual reintroduction of foods as per the surgeon’s advice.
- Hydration to prevent dehydration and complications.
- Dietary adjustments to manage output and avoid discomfort.
- Exercise regularly and take prescribed medications.
- Scheduling regular follow-up appointments.
