Ostomy, Pouch
|
|
Surgery is often needed to
treat certain conditions of the colon (large bowel).
Sometimes the surgeon must make an opening on the
abdominal wall through which intestinal waste (feces)
can pass. This surgery is medically known as colostomy
and ileostomy. The opening itself is called a stoma. A
lightweight, disposable bag is then worn over the stoma.
This condition is often permanent. However, in certain
cases it is a temporary detour that can be reversed at a
later time.
