An ostomy is a surgically created. opening in the abdomen for. the discharge of body waste. Ostomies that discharge urine. are urostomies. After the ostomy. is created, you will expel or. release urine through a stoma. Your stoma is the end of the small. or large intestine that can be. seen protruding or sticking out.
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.
