Depends: On your ileostomy output rate. If your output rate is still high when you first go home, you may have to empty your pouch several times a day including at night. Work out a plan with your wound-osteomy team, and make sure you feel comfortable when you head home.

Sometimes: Bcir may require nocturnal emptying. It is not the gold standard anymore after panproctocolectomy. Ileal pouch is preferred
