It’s usually needed because a problem is causing the ileum to not work properly, or a disease is affecting that part of the colon and it needs to be removed.

A rod is placed under the loop
The portion of the intestine is flipped open to expose the interior surface
The opposite side is stitched in place to the skin of the abdomen
Standard or Brook Ileostomy
Also empties from the ileum. But using an abdominal pouch. A pouch of the ileum is formed to serve as a reservoir for feces
