Objective: To evaluate the outcome of ileostomy reversal procedures. Study Design: Prospective case series. Place and Duration: In the Surgical Department of Nishtar Hospital Multan for two year duration from March 2017 to March 2019. Methodology: 74 total patients with ileostomy closure were included in the study. Detailed history, physical examination and related examinations were performed. The patients were operated on by a superior surgeon and an anastomosis was sutured in two layers. The patients were closely monitored for postoperative complications. Results: Typhoid and tuberculosis perforation were the main factors in ileostomy. After closure of ileostomy, the most common complication was wound infection in 10 (13.5%), intestinal obstruction in 4 (8.1%), incision hernia in 2 (2.6%) and anastomotic (1.3%) in one patient. No mortality was observed in the study. Conclusion: DE functioning of ileostomy is a common life-saving operation and reversal is a safe procedure with little mortality and morbidity.
