The arm include patients having had rectal cancer operation and who have obtained a loop-ileostoma and that meet the inclusion criteria. The operation procedure is standardized; shortly described by dissecting the ileostoma from the abdominal wall and everting the stoma ledges, which will be sutured or stapled. The patients will be observed for 23 hours, and if there are no contraindications according to described criteria the patient can be discharged form the hospital, however all patients will be followed up.
