Wiki Colostomy vs ileostomy

It is up for interpretation and in my opinion its a no. You really have to think about why, and how with clinical practice on this one. What are they doing to the small intestine, are they dividing the distal end near/or terminal Ilium. If they are doing so and dividing the sigmoid-recto junction, wouldn’t that be a total colectomy(44155).
