An ostomy is a surgical procedure that causes a change in the usual way urine or stool exits the body. An ostomy can be temporary or permanent. The bodily waste is rerouted from its normal path because of the urinary or digestive system malfunctioning parts. Ostomy surgery is a life-saver that allows bodily waste to pass through an abdominal stoma into a pouch or bag outside the body or a bag created surgically inside the body for continent diversion surgeries. An ostomy may be necessary due to congenital disabilities, cancer, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, incontinence, and other health conditions. They are also needed in the severe abdomen or pelvic trauma caused due to accidents or injuries.
A dark pink opening created by ostomy surgery on the abdomen is a stoma. It is made to collect stool or urine in a pouch worn over the stoma for most ostomies.
Closed ostomy bags are one-time-use pouches sealed all around the bottom. Closed pouches are best apt for people with less discharge.
Drainable pouches do not require frequent changing. These are open-ended with a secure closure to empty the bag, clean it, and reuse it.
Urine drainage bags attached to a catheter put inside the bladder collect urine.
