An ostomy may be constructed as an end ostomy or a loop ostomy, depending on the specific circumstances for which an ostomy is being created. An end ostomy is formed by bringing the end of a segment of bowel through the skin opening, and rolling the bowelâs end back onto itself, like a shirt cuff, and suturing the bowel edges to the abdominal wall skin. A loop ostomy is typically for a diverting temporary stoma (one you are going to reconnect and just temporarily divert the stool away).
