Ileostomy. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the abdomen of a 27-year-old patient,showing a stoma (dark patch,lower centre-right),formed at the end of the ileum (small intestine,red) after the colon was removed due to colon cancer. An ileostomy is a surgical opening constructed by bringing the end or loop of the ileum out onto the surface of the skin to form a stoma. Faeces is therefore passed out through the stoma into a bag attached to the abdomen,rather than passing through the colon and out of the body through the anus | |
