Understanding Ostomy: A Life-Changing Procedure
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (stoma) in the abdomen to divert waste when the normal digestive or urinary tract cannot function. Common types include colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy. With proper care and guidance, people with ostomies live full, active lives.
- Colostomy — diverts the colon
- Ileostomy — diverts the small intestine
- Urostomy — diverts urine flow
