Case description

Ileostomy

Both fulminant colitis and toxic megacolon are regarded as
the sequelae of colitis in which irreversible changes in the
whole thickness of colonic wall have occurred. These
condition both call for an immediate, emergent surgical
intervention. Until recently the procedure of choice in this
acute phase of the disease was colectomy with Brooke
ileostomy and Hartmann type closure of the distal rectum.
Colectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis was reserved
only for elective surgery.
