What is a colostomy?
A colostomy is a surgically created opening into the colon through the abdomen. Its purpose is to allow the stool to bypass a diseased or damaged part of the colon. A colostomy may be made at almost any point along the length of the colon. It may be temporary or permanent, depending on the medical reason for the surgery. |
