Ileostomy

George Hall is a 49-year-old male who is a practicing Hindu. After being diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer, he had a surgical colon resection. Currently Mr. Hall is 36 hours post-operation, on a clear liquid diet, and continuing intravenous fluid replacement. Upon the return of bowel sounds, his diet will progress to continuous tube feedings through a nasogastric tube. The constant pace of continuous feedings will prevent risks of intolerance and aspiration of the formula. Progression of Mr. Hall’s diet from continuous tube feedings depends upon the function of his gastrointestinal tract. Before Mr. Hall can eat solid foods again, a transition diet will be incorporated when gastrointestinal motility returns and there is an absence of gastrointestinal complaints. While utilizing the transition diet, tube feedings will be used with the addition of small portions of soft mechanical food that is easily digested until his digestive system can handle solid foods. Additionally, a colostomy bag will be used to collect intestinal waste, allowing the bowel to heal properly. There will be dietary precautions with the usage of colostomy to instill positive outcomes. While caring for Mr. Hall, it is important to respect his religious practice of Hinduism that may contribute to a vegetarian diet; current exercise habits and presence of family or friends are unknown. North America has one of the highest incidences of colorectal cancer, males over 50 years old are at the highest…

Ileostomy Home Guide An ileostomy is a surgical procedure to make an opening (stoma) for stool to leave your body. The surgery is done when a medical condition prevents stool from passing through the intestines and leaving your body through the rectum. During the surgery, a part of the small intestine (ileum) is attached to the stoma made in the abdominal wall. A bag or pouch is fitted over the stoma. Stool and gas will collect in the pouch. After having this surgery, you will need to…

Before the late 1960’s there was only the traditional ileostomy that required the use of an external pouch, however that changed when a Swedish physician Nil Kock came up with the first internal…

(Langmead & Irving, 2008, p. 40). 4) What are the differences between an ileostomy and a colostomy and what is expected after surgery? Colostomy is the surgical opening on abdomen for large intestine which allows the exit of feces. There are three types of colostomies namely: Ascending, descending and transverse colostomy. A colostomy may be permanent or temporary depending on the cause…

What I do remember is how much it hurt to move in bed. I had a surgery that took out my colon and created my ileostomy. An ileostomy is when a bit of your small intestine is sticking out from your side which is known as a stoma. Your waste leaves from there and into a bag.And I remember that moment where I first saw my stoma scene by scene. Seeing this horrid pink thing poking out of me.…

pass without issues. Segmenting movement in the descending and sigmoid colon promote the final desiccation of the feces. This part of the colon also stores feces until mass movements propel the feces into the rectum (Marieb, Hoehn, 2013). Fiber in the diet strengthens colon contraction and softens the feces, allowing the colon to act like a well-oiled machine. The body has to eliminate food and other particles from the body. If there is a problem with the way elimination takes place, then…
