Ileostomy A Vital Procedure for Bowel Health
An ileostomy is a surgical procedure where the small intestine (ileum) is diverted through an opening in the abdomen, creating a stoma for waste elimination. This procedure is commonly recommended for patients with conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or colorectal cancer. Ileostomy indications include severe bowel disease or damage that cannot be treated with other methods. In some cases, an ileostomy reversal may be possible once the underlying condition has healed, allowing normal bowel function to be restored. Dr. Nazish Khalid offers expert guidance and care throughout the ileostomy process, ensuring optimal recovery and management.
