This is a multicentre, open-label, single-arm clinical study that will assess the safety, performance and durability of the TIES® transcutaneous titanium implant in patients requiring a permanent ileostomy (a surgical procedure that involves connecting the small intestine to the skin to create an opening).~The Transcutaneous Implant Evacuation System (TIES®) is a medical device designed to enable continence control for patients who would otherwise need to wear an ileostomy bag.~Eligible subjects will undergo a conventional ileostomy procedure under general anaesthesia and have the TIES® Port implanted. To date, the TIES® has been evaluated in 11 patients in 2 clinical studies. This study aims to collect more data that will assess performance, durability, safety and the impact that the TIES® has on a patient's quality of life.~The study will enroll 50 patients across Europe that require a permanent ileostomy, including patients with ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis coli or other diseases such as Crohn´s disease.~Study subjects are expected to participate for approximately 1 year following surgical placement of the TIES® Port. Participation will involve a screening period, surgical implantation of the device (in-patient) and scheduled follow-up assessments out to 1 year post implant.
