Colostomy/Ilestomy

A colostomy or ilestomy is performed when the large intestine, rectum, or anus is unable to function normally or needs rest from normal functions. This procedure can be performed using laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery uses a thin, telescope-like instrument called a laparoscope, which is inserted through a small incision at the belly button. The laparoscope is connected to a tiny video camera which projects a view of the operative site onto video monitors located in the operating room.
