What is Ileostomy? – Ileostomy Care

An ileostomy is the incision of the small intestine or a part of the small intestine, called the ileum. As a result of ileostomy surgery, doctors create an opening on the outside of the belly wall, called a stoma. This has created for the collection of solid excretion of the body and gas. Moreover, the stoma or an artificial opening needs some appliances for the collection and care of the stoma. The ostomy bag or pouch controls the leakage, gas, odor, and collets the waste matter of the body.

The ileostomy stoma has created after the incision of the small intestine, which connects to the opening in the abdomen. The small intestine is a path between the stomach and the large intestine. It absorbs the nutrients, proteins, fats, minerals, and carbohydrates from the food. The small intestine takes minced food from the stomach and after the absorption of the mentioned nutrients into the blood vessels, the undigested or waste food sends to the large intestine. It is the combination of the colon and rectum. However, the remaining job of the absorption of water and excretion of waste has done by colon, rectum, or large intestine.

Why you Need an Ileostomy Surgery?

Ileostomy surgery needs several circumstances and reasons to be performed. Surgeons perform the ileostomy to remove a small part of the ileum (a part of the small intestine) or bypass it to the outside of the abdomen (stoma). However, a person may need the ileostomy surgery when:

  •  Ileum or a part of the large intestine gets blocked or damaged.
  • A part of the ileum or small intestine removed due to any severe infection or disease.
  • There is an abdominal infection, injury, or rupture in any part of the intestine whether it is ileum, colon, or rectum.
  • Patients have cancer, such as colorectal cancer.
  • Ileum cannot perform the function appropriately.
  •  A person has Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, or Familia adenomatous polyposis.
  • A woman has ovarian cancer.

When do you Need Temporary Colostomy and Permanent Ileostomy?

When a patient has cancer-related diseases, then he/she needs the ileostomy surgery temporarily. After the recovery or healing of the ileum, colon, rectum, the patient goes back to the natural process and path of the excretion. However, in the severe injuries or permanent dis functioning of the small or large intestine, a patient needs a permanent ileostomy surgery.

Types of the Ileostomy Surgery

The following are the types of ileostomy:

  • Standard ileostomy.
  • Continent ileostomy.
  • Ileo-anal reservoir.

Recovery from the Ileostomy

The recovery or healing needs some time. Doctors do not discharge you right after the surgery. You will be in hospital for one or two weeks. However, after the healing of the cuts and stitches, they will send you back to the home. But, the stoma will take some time for healing and recovery. Moreover, you will take some months to get used to a new life. A patient can take three to four months for a full recovery. But, it has involved some pains and risks. These are:

  •  Internal bleeding.
  • Bleeding from the stoma.
  • Damage nearby the small intestine or large intestine.
  •  Stomal infection.
  • Rupture of the internal tissues.

Ileostomy Care

Just like the colostomy, you have to take care of the stoma and its appliances. The first thing, you have to clean and care about is the ostomy bag or pouch. When it gets half full or you feel leakage, empty it, and wash it. Moreover, if you are using a disposable stoma container, then dispose it off and wear the new one.

Stoma and Peristomal Care

Apart from the appliances and internal organs, a patient has to take care of the skin around the skin. Due to the bleeding or leakage of the waste, the skin starts redness and itching. Therefore, clean the peristomal skin and stoma to get rid of such issues.
