		A hernia frequently requires an ileostomy surgery revision because the muscle opening for the stoma becomes enlarged and causes bulging.
		In some instances a revision may be handled with "minor" surgery, but in a number of cases the procedure will require general anesthesia and a more major operation, as when it becomes necessary to relocate the ileostomy to the opposite side of the abdomen.
		Additional ileostomy information, specifically related to ileostomy surgery procedures, ileostomy care, and ileostomy diet, as well as a growing list of frequently asked questions, is readily available on this website.

		Usually, a small incision around the ileostomy is all that is necessary to free it up, oversew it and drop it back into the abdomen.
		In about one out of seven patients, however, there is extensive scarring in the abdomen that requires reopening of the main incision to free up adhesions before the ileostomy can be safely closed.
		We would hope that after six weeks you will return to normal activities, but many patients find they are able to do most of their activities well in advance of this time.

	Colostomy and ileostomy
		When a part of the digestive system is diseased or damaged and not able to function normally, a hole is made in the abdomen and a portion of the small or large intestine is brought to an opening in the skin.
		This opening is known as the colostomy (in large intestine) or ileostomy (in small intestine), and the exposed end of the intestine is known as the stoma.
		Ileostomies may be performed because of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease or when multiple polyps develop in the colon and rectum (familial polyposis).

		In the case of an ileostomy the full extent of the colon is removed and the terminal end of the small intestine, which is known as the ileum, empties through a stoma into a bag.

		Output though an ileostomy tends to be quite liquid because of the absence of the colon, which normally extracts most of the moisture from the gut contents.

	Ileostomy and Kidney Stones - Urology Forum
		Someone with an ileostomy no longer has a large intestine, therefore much of the fluids taken in never make it to the urinary system, being excreted instead through the stoma.

		Other Procedures: The use of the continent ileostomy (the Kock pouch), which was an operation with some promise before IPAA was developed, is not a good primary operation for patients with ulcerative colitis.
		The operation may be an alternative for people who already have an established ileostomy, but it is a highly technical operation and the surgeon must have great experience with the technique to decrease the high reoperation rate and overall poor outcomes of the procedure.
		Support groups are available so you can meet others who are living with ileostomies and learn from those who have gone through the surgery.
