I had an infection (perforated colon) so they took ~ 16" out, diverted the small intestine and when I recovered after a year or so they hooked everything back-- I had big open wounds so I had to pack to heal from the inside out. I made a Tripod website all about it.
I thought it was SOP surg for peritonitis? They lap suture the colon and just staple the small intestine. Yeah for awhile I was the "visible man" with a bag hooked to my small bowel, I have big scars still -- thats how I know lemon and grapefruits can make foods like rice or elbow pasta pass thru whole and undigested 
I Hope this helps:
