Is stoma retrieval a major surgery?

Stoma reduction is a common procedure in surgery and is not a major surgery. In some patients with colorectal or rectal lesions, a stoma is performed after surgical removal of the lesion, where the intestines are pulled out of the stoma and a stoma bag is attached. After a period of time, the intestine is returned to the abdominal cavity with a stoma reduction procedure. Ostomy reduction is a common and basic procedure in surgery and is not considered complicated. The basic procedure of stoma reduction is to first routinely anesthetize, disinfect, and towel the area, and then remove the scar tissue around the lesion. A pike-shaped incision centered on the stoma is routinely chosen, and then the bowel is freed around it, and the stoma is removed along with it. After that, the remaining intestinal tube is anastomosed, and after anastomosis, the intestinal tube is put back into the abdominal cavity, and then irrigated and the abdomen is closed. After the operation, attention should be paid to the prevention of infection, and the patient should be instructed to get out of bed at an early stage.
