defunctioning ileostomy
diverting ileostomy, diverting loop ileostomy an initial stage in colectomies or pouch creation in which the future anastomosis is not yet created and a loop of ileum is attached to a stoma; this allows healing of the distal structure that has been altered, with the expectation that later the ileum will be anastomosed to the altered colon or rectum.
