During those years, the United States evolved from a new nation fighting Great Britain for independence (1775â83), through the monumental American Civil War (1861â65) and, after collaborating in triumph during World War II (1941â45), to the world's sole remaining superpower from the late 20th century to present.
Tracheotomy (US /ËtreÉªkiËÉtÉmi/ tray-kee-AW-tÉ-mee) is a surgical procedure which consists of making an incision on the anterior aspect of the neck and opening a direct airway through an incision in the trachea (windpipe).
With an ostomy there is loss of sphincter or control over urination or excretion, so ostomy patients must wear an ostomy bag to collect body waste. The ostomy might be temporary or permanent depending on the gravity of the condition. An ostomate is somebody who has an ostomy. There are three types of ostomy surgeries: colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy. The first two make reference to the part of the intestinal system that is compromised in the procedure. A colostomy relates to the large intestine (colon) while an ileostomy to the small intestine (ileum). When the procedure involves the bladder, it is called a urostomy. An ostomy is performed for different reasons, but it remains as the last resort for intestinal pathologies.
