👉 Ileotomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the intestine from the lower part of the colon. It is performed to treat conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The ileotomy typically involves cutting open the abdominal wall through a small incision in the back of the abdomen. This allows for the removal of the diseased portion of the intestine without causing significant damage to the surrounding tissues or organs.
