Plz don't defeat purpose of this website by tellin me 2 ask my dr or surgeon. my ? is what does it mean when a stoma from ileostomy turns black?

Usually ischemia: That usually means that the stoma has a reduced blood supply, causing what we term ischemia. It may only involve the lining of the stoma, which usually gets better on its own after the swelling goes down. If its the full thickness of the bowel wall, it may need revisional surgery. You should ask your surgeon as well. Hope this helps!.
