Ileostomy Glossary of Terms

Ileostomy Removal
Ileostomy removal is done on patients who are off all medications & feel well following the temporary Ileostomy surgery. By an incision around the stoma, it is freed from the abdominal wall & rejoined to the other end of the bowel restoring the regular bowel function. The opening on the abdomen is then overstitched & closed.
