Other operations on small and large intestine: Inspection of and other interventions for an ileostomy: Conversion to a continent stoma (e.g. Kock pouch): Jejunum
Your artificial anus in the mid-section of your small intestine has been surgically adjusted.
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.
An artificial anus can be used, for example, to get food straight to the small intestine using a tube.
An artificial anus is sometimes adjusted so that the intestinal contents in the future collect in the intestine. To achieve this, the intestine is first surgically made into a pouch. The intestinal contents will collect in this pouch in the future. The previous anus in the abdominal wall is converted to a type of valve and connected to the pouch. This valve only opens if a tube is inserted into the artificial intestinal opening from outside. In this way the intestinal contents can be routed outside as needed.
