Attention to colostomy - what does this mean

A colostomy is the surgical creation of an opening in the abdomen to allow the release of waste from the colon. it is usually done when the colon needs to be bypassed due to a blockage, inflammation, or cancer. the procedure involves disconnecting the colon from the rectum and attaching it to the abdominal wall, where a stoma is created. the stoma is an opening in the skin where a bag is placed to collect the waste.

What happens during the disease - attention to colostomy

The pathogenesis of attention to colostomy is a surgical procedure in which the end of the large intestine is diverted to the outside of the abdomen. this is done when the normal passage of stool through the large intestine is blocked or when another part of the digestive system is diseased or damaged. it involves the surgical removal of a portion of the large intestine, usually the sigmoid or descending colon, and the creation of an artificial opening in the abdominal wall. the end of the remaining colon is then stitched to the opening, forming the stoma. the stoma allows the contents of the intestine to be emptied directly into the bag, bypassing the rectum and anus.
