An ileostomy is a surgical procedure where the small intestine is diverted to an artificial opening in the abdomen, known as a stoma. This allows waste to be expelled directly from the small intestine, bypassing the colon and rectum. Ileostomies are often necessary for individuals with conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or colorectal cancer. Thailand, renowned for its world-class healthcare facilities and highly skilled medical professionals, has become a popular destination for those seeking ileostomy surgery.

An ileostomy is typically performed when the colon or rectum is damaged or needs to be removed due to disease. There are two types of ileostomies: end ileostomy and loop ileostomy. An end ileostomy involves removing the colon and rectum, whereas a loop ileostomy only bypasses these parts temporarily. The type of ileostomy you receive will depend on your specific condition and needs. Thai surgeons are highly experienced in performing both types of ileostomies, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate treatment for their condition.
Preparation for an ileostomy in Thailand involves a thorough evaluation of your overall health and specific medical condition. This includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and imaging studies. Your surgeon will provide you with instructions on any lifestyle changes, dietary restrictions, or medications you need to take before the surgery. When selecting a medical facility or surgeon in Thailand, consider factors like language proficiency, professional credentials, and hospital accreditation.
During an ileostomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen and diverts the small intestine to the stoma. The stoma is then attached to the skin, creating an opening through which waste can be expelled. After the procedure, you will need to wear an ostomy bag to collect the waste. Recovery from an ileostomy can take several weeks, and you will need to stay in Thailand for at least 10 to 14 days for proper monitoring and follow-up appointments.
The cost of an ileostomy in Thailand typically ranges from $7,000 to $9,000, depending on factors such as the surgeon's expertise, medical facility, and the type of ileostomy performed. These costs are substantially lower than those in other countries, making Thailand an attractive destination for medical tourism. It is important to note that the quoted price includes necessary overnight hospital stays associated with the procedure but does not cover travel and accommodation expenses.

"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
