What is reverse ostomy surgery?
Reversal surgery is a medial procedure performed when the patient no longer needs help to remove solid waste from the body. The procedure is a reverse of colostomy, creating an artificial opening in the abdomen to eliminate solid waste when the body cannot do it naturally. The operation itself is a relatively simple procedure. In some patients, the treatment period may be difficult and in some cases painful. Complications are options.
There are a number of health conditions such as the large intestine or anal cancer, which makes it difficult to eliminate solid waste for one. During the colostomy, the surgeon exposes a small part of the large intestine outside the abdomen to act as an artificial rectum. Using a colostory bag or irrigation of ostomy, the patient can eliminate waste and live almost normal life. In cases where the healing and/or large intestine is healed by surgery from the ostomy of normal intestinal function.
