High output stoma is a frequent complication in patients with ileostomies that is not well identified and is not often properly addressed by clinicians.

Frequently presents both short-term and long-term negative implications for patients and is associated with readmissions. We present a review of published literature focusing in surgical resection-related factors that influence a later appearance of this complication, causes involved in its development, the need to establish a clear and objective concept of high ouput as well as the negative implications it presents.
