i think that when the small bowel are opened to the skin its called ileostomy rather than colostomy, colostomy is when the large bowels are opened to the skin. :)
Any tips for long term colon health after surgery? A few years ago, I had about 12" - 14" inches on the left side or sigmoid removed because of diverticulitis. Had complications right after surgery----leaking fluids, possibly the mended area coming apart? They had to do emergency surgery to put a colostomy in----then 10 months later, reversed that. THREE surgeries. Now, it's good for the most part----but with occaisional constipation or if I eat something that doesn't agree with me----I sometimes get pain on the left side and worry that it's starting all over again. Any dietary tips? Also, does straining to go threaten breaking the area that was reconnected? Would hate to have to get more surgery so trying to figure a preventative way to keep things healthy. I can sort of feel that things were moved around in there.
I had the same procedure that you had but thankfully did not have complications after surgery. My surgeon has advised me to eat a high fiber diet along with 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk dissolved in liquid for the rest of my life. He also advised I drink at least 64 ounces of water or liquid every day. So far this has worked well for me with no constipation or pain issues. Good luck and please eat a healthy diet with plenty of liquid and the supplemental fiber for long term colon health. God bless you!
quite a relief when u found someone that can simplified a complicated procedure to the medical students. thank you.
Seemed to be aimed very low for med. students. And an ileostomy is not a colostomy.
Sure, happy to. It's on our to-do list, but don't know when we can get it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

you are right.
Yup
Thank you! I have NO medical background and I fully understood what you were on about! You know your stuff... :)
Thank you! As a surgical tech student, this was very helpful to get a clear and simple explanation of this.
💪🙏🏻👍
Very simple and precise! Good job! Thanks =)
very nice video presentation..
thank u made it so clear and simple...
can you make a video for bariatric surgery procedures? there's more of those than colon resection types.
Thank you so much!!!
Hi,
We use Microsoft Onenote as the program, but use a pen tablet to draw instead of the mouse. If you're interested in helping out, let us know!
thank you so much! 15/9/2019
why is there NO mention of colonic inertia needing surgery??
thank you
What program are you using to make your videos?
Hi,
Which program do you use to write and draw on videos?
How long is the recovery time? What foods can a patient eat and drink?

What if the cancer is present in both assending colon and transverse colon
I just had a right hemicolectomy. They rejoined at the same time.
Please can this solve frequent diaherria?
Makes sense.
How about chronic constipation
So what's a stoma then?
👍 greattt
Paul mikulicz procedure
2:08 its ileostomy, not colostomy
Illeostomy is at the small intestine 🤣
@@mf-hh8fk yes you are right 😃
