What is done in a conventional ileostomy?

Answer 1

A conventional ileostomy, also called a Brooke ileostomy, involves a separate, smaller incision through the abdominal wall skin (usually on the lower right side) to which the cut end of the ileum is sutured.

Answer 2

In a conventional ileostomy, the surgeon creates a stoma on the abdomen by bringing the end of the small intestine (ileum) to the surface. Waste material passes through the stoma into an external pouch worn on the abdomen, bypassing the colon and rectum. This procedure is commonly performed in cases of inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, or other conditions that affect the large intestine.
