A 30-year-old male presented with fever for 8 days and abdominal pain for 1 day. He underwent an exploratory laparotomy that revealed a 2x2 cm ileal perforation 0.5 feet from the ileocecal junction. The perforation was primarily repaired and a loop ileostomy was fashioned 1.5 feet from the ileocecal junction. On examination, the midline incision was healing well without discharge and the stoma was functioning normally.
