Abstract
The use of an ileostomy, either as a sole procedure or in conjunction with other procedures, is an extremely important and commonly used therapeutic modality in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The three common types of ileostomy in use at the present time are end ('Brooke' type), loop, and continent (Kock). This paper deals only with the end and the loop ileostomy.
