Detailed explanation-1: -The formation of an end ileostomy is usually considered following permanent removal of the entire colon, and therefore the patient manages their stoma for the rest of their life. In brief, the indications for forming an ileostomy include: To defunction the rest of the bowel in order to protect a distal anastomosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Permanent Ileostomy In the standard or Brooke ileostomy (also known as an end ileostomy), surgeons pull the ileum up and through an incision in the abdomen. Then they turn the ileum inside out and suture it to the abdomen to create a stoma. Waste coming through the stoma is deposited into an external pouch.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stomas may be temporary or permanent. A surgeon may make a temporary stoma to allow the bowel to heal after surgery. If you have a temporary stoma, you will usually have a second smaller operation a few months later to close the stoma and re-join the bowel. This operation is called a stoma reversal (see below).
