S188 – Bowel resection without anastomosis (colostomy and mucous fistula)
OHIP Digestive System Surgical Procedures Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
S188 describes a bowel resection where anastomosis (re-connection) is not performed. Instead, the two ends of the resected bowel are brought to the skin surface to create stomas: a colostomy for fecal diversion and a mucous fistula for drainage from the non-functional part of the bowel. This service is eligible for billing by the surgeon (suffix A), assistant (suffix B), and anaesthesiologist (suffix C).
