Stoma retrieval surgery typically takes 2 hours. A stoma is a surgical separation of the intestinal tubes to create an opening by drawing one end of the tube out to the surface of the body. The stoma can be used to promote healing of intestinal and urinary tract disorders by reducing intestinal decompression, relieving obstruction, and protecting the distal bowel from anastomosis or injury. Ostomy retraction is a procedure to close a temporary stoma, which is usually performed for benign reasons. The operation involves opening the abdomen and reattaching the previously cut colon. The operation usually takes about 2 hours and the patient needs to stay in bed for 6 hours after the operation. Most surgeries are successful, and even if they fail, the stoma can be reopened. After the operation, intravenous antibiotics such as levofloxacin should be used to prevent infection and other symptomatic treatment. Early activity out of bed can promote the early recovery of intestinal peristalsis. If you need to perform stoma re-instatement surgery, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment.
