To reverse a colostomy, typically, about 6 to 8 inches of the colon is needed to create the necessary bowel connection. However, the exact amount can vary depending on individual anatomy and the specific circumstances of the colostomy. A thorough evaluation by a surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate approach for each patient.
