Other operations on small and large intestine: Creation of an ileostomy, end, as standalone intervention: Ileostoma: Conversion laparoscopic – open surgical

An operation involved making an artificial anus in the final section of your small intestine.

The small intestine is the longest section of the digestive tract. It consists of 3 sections. The 1st section begins immediately after the stomach and is called the duodenum. The gallbladder and the pancreas secrete the digestive juices in this section. The jejunum and ileum sections come next. The nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the food in the small intestine. The small intestine is followed by the large intestine.

The surgery first involved doing a laparoscopy. A laparoscopy first involves making a small incision in the abdomen. A tube with a camera is pushed through this incision into the abdomen. This camera sends pictures of the inside of the abdomen to a screen. Tools such as forceps and scissors can be inserted through other small incisions in the abdomen.

Then your abdomen was opened by making a large incision through your skin.

To create an artificial anus, a small opening was then made in your abdominal wall. Your intestine was then severed. The upper end of the intestine was then stitched to the opening in your abdominal wall. The lower end of the intestine is sewn shut.

The intestinal contents come out through this artificial anus. A special bag that collects the intestinal contents is attached to the artificial anus.
