Colostomy status occurs when a portion of the large intestine is surgically removed and the remaining part is attached to an opening in the abdominal wall, forming a stoma. the stoma allows waste to exit the body and be collected in a pouch.
What happens during the disease - colostomy status
Colostomy status is a condition in which a portion of the large intestine is surgically removed and the remaining portion is connected to the abdominal wall to form an artificial opening, known as a stoma. this is done to divert the flow of stool away from the rectum and anus, usually as a result of an obstruction, infection, or injury in the large intestine. the most common cause of colostomy status is cancer of the colon or rectum, although other conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, and trauma can also lead to this condition.
