Abstract
Stoma creation is an essential tool in the surgeon's armamentarium to treat a variety of surgical conditions. The ability to safely restore intestinal continuity, however, is equally important. Stomal reversal can be considered following an appropriate amount of time and thoughtful assessment of the diverted bowel or anastomosis utilizing radiographic and/or endoscopic evaluation. Despite conscientious and thoughtful preoperative planning, stoma reversal has potential for significant morbidity.
