Ileostomy

Ileostomy

An ileostomy involves bringing the ileum (the last portion of the small intestine) to the abdominal surface. When waste matter reaches the ileum it is liquid, so an appliance is needed to collect it. However, a type of ileostomy called a Koch's pouch or continent ileostomy does not require an appliance. The physician and surgeon discuss these choices with the patient.
