Question: What is 'Barbie Butt' surgery?

Answer: The procedure where the bottom is sewn up is commonly referred to as "Barbie Butt" surgery. This involves the complete removal of the rectum and anus, with the area being sewn shut, resulting in a smooth appearance similar to a doll's molded plastic buttocks. It is typically performed when the remaining rectum or anus is diseased, non-functional, or poses a cancer risk. Once this surgery is completed, any existing ileostomy or colostomy becomes permanent, as there is no longer an option for reversal.
