Ileostomy

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.

Continent Ileostomy A Self-Managed Solution for Bowel Diversion

A continent ileostomy is a specialized type of ileostomy where the patient can manage waste elimination without using an external bag. This procedure involves creating an internal reservoir (pouch) from the ileum, which is then surgically connected to the abdominal wall with a valve or stoma. The patient can empty the pouch by using a catheter, offering more control and a more discreet lifestyle. This option is ideal for those seeking a more natural way of managing waste after conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or colorectal cancer. Dr. Nazish Khalid provides expert care for those considering or undergoing continent ileostomy.

Loop Ileostomy A Temporary Solution for Bowel Healing

A loop ileostomy is a temporary surgical procedure where a loop of the ileum (small intestine) is brought to the surface of the abdomen to create a stoma. This type of ileostomy is commonly performed to allow the bowel to heal after surgery, injury, or inflammation. The loop is usually divided, with one end bringing waste to the stoma, while the other end remains connected to the rest of the intestine. A loop ileostomy is typically reversible once healing is complete, restoring normal bowel function. Dr. Nazish Khalid offers expert care and guidance for patients undergoing this procedure, ensuring a smooth recovery.

Double Barrel Ileostomy A Surgical Approach for Bowel Diversion

A double barrel ileostomy is a surgical procedure where two separate stomas are created from the ileum (small intestine), typically in cases of severe bowel conditions or during certain cancer treatments. One stoma is used for waste elimination, while the other is often created to divert mucus or fluid. This procedure is usually temporary and allows the affected bowel to heal or recover. Once healing is complete, the stomas may be reversed or adjusted. Dr. Nazish Khalid provides comprehensive care and guidance for patients undergoing a double barrel ileostomy, ensuring effective recovery and improved quality of life.
