About Enterostomy

An enterostomy is a surgical procedure performed by a gastroenterologist or surgeon to create an opening (stoma) from a portion of the small intestine (the jejunum or ileum) through the abdominal wall. This opening allows for the diversion of intestinal contents, either for feeding or for drainage, bypassing a diseased or obstructed section of the digestive tract. It is a critical intervention for patients who cannot receive nutrition orally or who require bowel rest and decompression. Common types include jejunostomy and ileostomy. The procedure can be performed using open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, depending on the patient's condition and the underlying reason for the surgery. Enterostomy plays a vital role in managing severe gastrointestinal conditions, enabling nutritional support and improving quality of life.

Key Highlights

Provides essential nutritional support when oral intake is not possible.Allows bowel decompression and rest in cases of obstruction or severe inflammation.Can be a temporary or permanent solution based on the underlying medical condition.Often performed using minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques for faster recovery.Enables precise delivery of medications or specialized liquid nutrition directly into the small intestine.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
