what side is ileostomy on
The Ileostomy may be temporary or permanent depending on the reason behind the operation. The end of the small intestine or ileum (A) is cut and brought through the surface of the abdomen creating a stoma; this would normally be on the right hand side of the abdomen. âPanproctocolectomyâ - is the removal of the entire colon, rectum and anal canal. This type of stoma is permanent. âTotal Colectomyâ - is the removal of the entire colon, the rectum is left in place.
