Illustration depicting various types of<unk>  Types of<unk>  include: * Loop<unk> : This type of<unk>  is usually used in emergencies and is a temporary and large stoma. A loop of the bowel is pulled out onto the abdomen and held in place with an external device. The bowel is then sutured to the abdomen and two openings are created in the one stoma: one for stool and the other for mucus. * End<unk> : A stoma is created from one end of the bowel. The other portion of the bowel is either removed or sewn shut (Hartmann's procedure). * Double barrel<unk> : The bowel is severed and both ends are brought out onto the abdomen. Only the proximal stoma is functioning. Most often, double-barrel<unk>  is a temporary<unk>  with two openings into the colon (distal and proximal). The elimination occurs through the proximal stoma.<unk>  surgery that is planned usually has a higher rate of long-term success than surgery performed in an emergency situation. Duration A<unk>  may be temporary; and reversed at a later date; or permanent. Alternatives A man in the UK has been given a remote-controlled bowel.<unk>  or ileostomy is now rarely performed for rectal cancer, with surgeons usually preferring primary resection and internal anastomosis, e.g. an ileo-anal pouch. In place of an external appliance, an internal ileo-anal pouch is constructed using a portion of the patient's lower intestine, to act as a new rectum to replace the removed original.
