Ileostomy and Colostomy are surgical procedures commonly performed to manage cancers of the intestine.

In an Ileostomy, the damaged portion of the ileum—the final section of the small intestine—is surgically removed, and the healthy end is rerouted to an artificial opening (stoma) in the abdominal wall. A Colostomy, on the other hand, involves creating a similar opening, but it connects the colon (large intestine) to the abdominal wall.

While these procedures are essential for treating and managing advanced intestinal cancers, they may cause intermittent postoperative pain. To manage this discomfort, your oncologist may prescribe multimodal analgesia, which can include paracetamol, opioids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for effective pain control and faster recovery.

At ACOH, we ensure patients undergoing these procedures receive not only expert surgical care but also comprehensive pain management and emotional support throughout their recovery.
