Abstract
A study of 47 patients undergoing ileostomy reconstruciton is presented. The most common indications were recession (15 patients) and a desire for a continent type of ileostomy (12 patients), proplapse (4 patients), unsatisfactory siting (3 patients), and parastomal hermia (1 patient). Refashioning at a new site was required in 30 cases. In 28 of these laparotomy was carried out to enable repositioning, but in two cases resiting was perfromed without laparotomy. Alter the original opertation, reconstruciton may become necessary at any time from a few months to over 20 years.Keywords
