Anyone had their terminal ileum removed?

Diagnosed 2 ish years ago. Only had ever had issues in the right lower quadrant in this spot. My only symptoms during flares have been pain in that spot and the odd extra trip to the bathroom. Scanned last year and they discovered a fistula into my right psoas muscle. Was “managed” by infliximab until January of this year where I was admitted because of an abscess from the fistula. I’ve had a drain in since then, as well as antibiotics. Surgery coming up soon, just wondering that to expect. Fingers crossed no ostomy needed although it sounds like surgery staying laparoscopic isn’t likely.

Thanks in advance.
