About

An ileostomy is a surgical opening established by bringing the end or a loop of the ileum to discharge directly outside the body. This is typically done when part or the entire colon is removed because of IBD, cancer, or familial adenomatous polyposis. Reversal of this procedure, an ileostomy closure, may be done if possible. Ileostomy closure involves reconnecting the ileum to the remaining colon, allowing normal bowel movements again. This study will look at the outcomes of these surgeries in patients who were seen and operated on by the investigators.

Full description

This study focused on outcomes and complications after ileostomy closure. An ileostomy is a surgical opening established by bringing the end or a loop of the ileum to discharge directly outside the body. This is typically done when part or the entire colon is removed because of IBD, cancer, or familial adenomatous polyposis. Reversal of this procedure, an ileostomy closure, may be done if possible to reconnect the ileum to the remaining colon and allow normal bowel movements again. This study looked at the outcomes for these surgeries in patients who were seen and operated on by the investigators. Patients were identified from the files and schedules of the investigators, and Epic was used to collect the information needed to determine perioperative clinical characteristics and post-operative outcomes. This data was kept in a secure electronic database, with identifiers removed as soon as all of the data was collected for a patient.
