@jussiemow The ileostomy was created as an emergency life saving surgery for Crohns perforation and peritonitis. Due to Crohns and short bowel, this was a high output stoma leading to severe malnutrition, weight loss, and dehydration requiring recurrent hospitalisations with kidney failure

Watched #surgeonsattheedgeoflife and was a little confused why having a stoma for this man was so bad and that reconnection was deemed to make it better, very negative about having a stoma implying it made him very unwell. So confused, can anyone shed any light?
