A colostomy is a surgical procedure where a portion of the large intestine, known as the colon, is redirected through an opening in the abdomen called a stoma. This allows waste to pass a damaged or diseased part of the colon. The stoma provides another path for stool to exit the body when there are issues with normal bowel function, often because of conditions like cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or injury. Waste is collected in a pouch attached to the stoma, which can be emptied and changed as needed. Colostomies can be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying reason for the surgery and the health of the patient. People with colostomies can lead active lives with proper care and support to manage the stoma and colostomy bag.
