What is ILEO colonic anastomosis?

What do you mean by anastomosing?
An anastomosis is a surgical connection between two structures. It usually means a connection that is created between tubular structures, such as blood vessels or loops of intestine. For example, when part of an intestine is surgically removed, the two remaining ends are sewn or stapled together (anastomosed).
What is a colectomy with anastomosis?
Open colectomy—An incision is made in the abdomen and the section of the diseased colon is removed. The two divided ends of the colon are sutured (sewn) or stapled together in an anastomosis. If the colon cannot be sewn back together, it is brought up through the abdomen to form a colostomy.

What is a transverse colostomy?
A transverse colostomymay be located on the right, left, or midline of the abdomen. This type of colostomy usually is done as a temporary measure, allowing for discharge of feces while the diseased portion of the intestine returns to normal. Later, the two ends are anastomosed to restore continuity of the bowel.
What is an ileocolic anastomosis and when is it performed?
It’s usually performed after a bowel resection in people with Crohn’s disease. This is because the disease often affects the small intestine and first part of the large intestine. An ileocolic anastomosis is usually done to rejoin the intestines after a bowel resection. A bowel resection is the removal of a damaged portion of the intestine.
What is the difference between a colostomy and an anastomosis?
A colostomy is often only used as a short-term solution. It allows other parts of your intestine to rest while you recover from another surgery. Once you’re recovered, an anastomosis is then done to reattach the two ends of the intestine. Sometimes, there isn’t enough healthy bowel left to do an anastomosis.
