Surgical procedure that creates an opening on the abdomen (stroma) for the drainage of stool (feces) from the large intestine (colon). Usually done after a bowel resection. May be temporary or permanent.
A surgical procedure in which some part of the colon is cut and moved to the surface of the abdomen so that feces can be passed into a bag worn outside of the body.
A surgically created hole in the abdomen in which a part of the colon is brought through to the skin surface. A bag must be worn over the hole to collect bowel movements. A temporary colostomy may be needed to allow some bowel tissue to heal after chronic inflammation has been treated.
an artificial opening of the bowel on the abdominal wall.
An opening in the body wall created surgically so the colon can drain
An opening, created through surgery, to allow the colon (lower part of the large intestine) to empty its contents directly through the wall of the abdomen.
A way to reroute the colon is a section is removed during surgery and the tissue has the increased risk of breakdown. Usually required during emergency surgery if a bowel resection is needed. A good preoperative bowel prep significantly reduces the chance of this occurring. Colposcope: an instrument in the office used as a magnification device. The cervix is visualized during a pelvic exam which may help distinguish a benign lesion from something more suspicious.
An opening from the colon onto the skin of the abdomen (stomach) for getting rid of body waste (stool). A colostomy is sometimes needed after surgery for cancer of the rectum. People with colon cancer sometimes have a temporary colostomy, but they rarely need a permanent one.
the surgical creation of an opening between the colon and the body; also the opening so created.
An alternative exit from the colon created to divert waste through a hole in the colon and through the wall of the abdomen. A colostomy is commonly performed by severing the colon to attach the end leading to the stomach to the skin through the wall of the abdomen. The end of the colon that leads to the rectum is closed off and becomes dormant. This is known as a "Hartmann's Colostomy". There are other types of colostomy procedures, but this one is the most common. Usually a colostomy is performed for infection, blockage, or in rare instances, severe trauma of the colon. This is not an operation to be taken lightly. It demands the close attention of both patient and doctor. A colostomy is often performed so that an infection can be stopped and/or the affected colon tissues can heal.
A colostomy is a surgically created opening in which a portion of the digestive tract is brought to the abdominal surface, where waste is expelled. A colostomy may be required when part of the bowel doesn't work and an alternate route must be created for the flow of waste. The opening the surgeon creates is called a stoma. more...
An opening in the skin of the abdomen to which the large bowel is attached.
A surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening in the abdominal wall for elimination of body wastes from the colon. It can be either temporary or permanent. Most colon cancers do not require colostomies if they are found early and treated promptly.

A surgical procedure by which an opening is created between the colon and the outside of the abdomen in order to eliminate stool into a collection bag.
a procedure done when there is an abnormality in the large intestine or rectum that allows stool to leave the body by a different route.

A colostomy may be temporary or permanent, depending on the health of the colon.
A surgical opening from the large bowel (colon) to the abdomen, forming a stoma for the discharge of stool (fecal material).
