Okay, this patient has a hx of a "sigmoid colectomy with colostomy" and is now scheduled to have a "colectomy takedown." Wouldn't that have to be a colostomy takedown? Is she using the wrong term? Or is a colectomy takedown a valid term?  


TIA!

I had a blank where the word colectomy is.  I've never heard of a colectomy of the MTP joint.  I did a search but didn't find anything.  I'd like to document it if it exists.

colostomy
Subject: colostomy

I actually had that surgery. It is common to have a colostomy and then six months later have it reversed or sometimes they call it a takedown. There is a cecostomy that is a fecal catheter if I am reading right so it could be either colostomy or cecostomy.

An ileal resection is the treatment, so I don't know how it was put in as part of the disease.
