Abstract

Abstract:

Ileostomy is a common operation in abdominal surgery, which is suitable for the treatment of various digestive diseases. In clinical practice, this operation has important therapeutic significance. Although some of the common complications of ileostomy are well known, some potential effects have not received enough attention and may have an important impact on patients' lives. Therefore, there is still some controversy about whether the procedure should be popularized. In this paper, the effects of ileostomy on the pathophysiological functions of related organs, intestinal microbes, electrolytes, and the social and psychological aspects of patients with stomas were reviewed. In order to have some reference for the majority of medical staff and scientific research workers.

Key words: Ileostomy, Rectal cancer, Quality of life, Potential impact, Review
