A member asked:
Why would a mucous fistula and end ileostomy be created instead of a loop ileostomy? if in both cases colonic secretions can be released, why would a surgeon create 2 stomas instead of one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This will depend on the reason it was done and it is best to ask your surgeon.
