Subject: colostomy
I actually had that surgery. It is common to have a colostomy and then six months later have it reversed or sometimes they call it a takedown. There is a cecostomy that is a fecal catheter if I am reading right so it could be either colostomy or cecostomy.
An ileal resection is the treatment, so I don't know how it was put in as part of the disease.
