Abstract
Continent ileostomies (i.e., an “ileostomy without a bag” that consists of an ileal reservoir and a valve mechanism) are very rare, and due to the necessary expertise only performed by a few specialized centers. Nonetheless, patients with existing continent ileostomies may present to general surgeons who will require a baseline understanding of continent ileostomy function, possible complications, and solutions to avert a catastrophe. This chapter describes these strategies for management of complications related to existing continent ileostomies.
