Surgical creation of an external opening into the ILEUM for fecal diversion or drainage. This replacement for the RECTUM is usually created in patients with severe INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES. Loop (continent) or tube (incontinent) procedures are most often employed.

1.	Ulcerative Colitis 09/01/2013 - "Although restorative ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the gold standard for ulcerative colitis, up to 14% of patients will opt for a permanent ileostomy and undergo completion proctectomy, traditionally by an abdomino-perineal approach, which itself carries significant morbidity. " 01/01/1998 - "Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is widely claimed to have replaced total proctocolectomy with ileostomy as the "procedure of choice" for ulcerative colitis, largely on the basis of a perceived improved quality of life. " 11/01/2007 - "Previous reports exist showing that proctocolectomy is a safe and effective procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis and where ileostomy is accompanied by one definitive, independent continent or pouch. " 09/01/1985 - "For the purpose of attaining radicality, proctocolectomy with ileostomy is a very useful operative method in ulcerative colitis. " 01/01/2013 - "The surgical treatment of choice for ulcerative colitis is colectomy followed by ileostomy or the construction of an ileo-anal pouch, which results in an improvement in quality of life. "
2.	Colitis 01/01/1987 - "When offered the choice of sphincter saving surgery or proctocolectomy with ileostomy over 90% of colitis choose the former which produced good results (modified Visick grades I and II) in 73% in the present series." 01/07/2014 - "For patients with extensive colitis and rectal involvement, total colectomy and end-ileostomy is safe and effective; however, a few patients can have subsequent IRA, and half of the patients will require proctectomy later. " 08/01/2014 - "Community hospital experience of refractory Clostridium difficile colitis: treatment and efficacy of diverting loop ileostomy and colonic lavage." 04/01/2011 - "Normally, fecal diversion by ileostomy results in an improvement in Crohn's colitis.

3.	Pouchitis 09/01/2008 - "For improved QOL in the future, pouch surgery should have a lower incidence of diverting ileostomy and result in fewer bowel movements and a lower incidence of soiling, with optimal management of pouchitis." 07/01/2003 - "The effective treatment for this chronic resistant pouchitis is to remove the ileal pouch and perform the permanent ileostomy. " 05/01/2008 - "The probiotic VSL#3 prevents pouchitis if started within a week of ileostomy closure and maintains remission following antibacterial treatment in patients with refractory or recurrent pouchitis. " 01/01/1994 - "This study was undertaken to assess the electron microscopic and microbiologic findings in tissue biopsy samples from patients with pouchitis and to compare them with findings in patients with normal pouches, conventional ileostomies, and normal ileum. " 12/01/2012 - "In medically treated patients, disease extent was associated with increased costs, whereas in surgically treated patients, permanent ileostomy and pouchitis were observed to be associated with increased costs."
4.	Rectal Neoplasms (Rectal Cancer) 05/01/2013 - "To assess the safety and efficacy of temporary ileostomy and temporary colostomy after a low anterior resection for rectal cancer by comparing the postoperative complications, then investigate which type of stoma is better.

"
5.	Crohn Disease (Crohn's Disease) 02/01/2011 - "In patients suffering anastomotic complications after ileocolic resection for ileal Crohn's disease, the prognosis can be significantly improved by taking down the anastomosis and creating an end ileostomy. " 10/01/1979 - "Patients with bile acid-induced diarrhoea associated with severe ileal Crohn's disease noted improvement in the diarrhoea on the elemental diet, and the treatment was also useful in reducing ileostomy output and helping ileostomy skin lesions to heal in a patient with severe skin excoriation related to leakage of excessive ileostomy fluid output." 09/01/2011 - "Aim of the study was to report the outcome of Crohn's disease patients after total proctocolectomy with definitive ileostomy. " 06/01/2001 - "The aim of this study is to report ten-year results of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in selected patients with colorectal Crohn's disease for whom coloproctectomy and definitive end ileostomy was the only alternative.
