Yes, an ileocectomy is a small bowel procedure that involves the surgical removal of the ileum, which is the last part of the small intestine, along with the adjacent cecum and sometimes part of the colon. This procedure is often performed to treat conditions such as Crohn's disease, tumors, or intestinal blockages.
