How to use "Ileostomy" in context?
When the large intestine becomes blocked, such as from Crohn's disease, a person may have to have an ileostomy. This is surgery that divides the large intestine into two parts and then connects (ileum) the two parts. This allows food and waste to flow through on one side or the other, instead of throughout the entire large intestine.
