The House of the Seven Gables once a show place in a small New England town, now presents little evidence of its former grandeur. Wind, sun, storm, and neglect left its sides, shingles, and chimney crumbling. Its gray look is mottled here and there with moss. The lattice fence surrounding it is in ruin.
Septal Myectomy. What is septal myectomy? Septal myectomy, also known as septal myotomy, is a cardiac surgery treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a type of heart disease associated with asymmetric thickening of the heart muscle, most commonly at the septum (membrane that separates the right and left sides of the heart).
Colostomy A colostomy is the opening created by the surgeon to bring the colon (large intestine) to the surface of the abdomen. There are various kinds of colostomies, each named for the location in the colon where the ostomy is formed. They are: ascending, transverse, descending, or sigmoid colostomy. Ileostomy/Colostomy Output The stool that comes out of your stoma will be liquid after the operation. It will get thicker within several days. Stool that drains from an ileostomy is more liquid. Ileostomies are created higher in the intestine, and less water is absorbed from stool. The stool draining from a colostomy is more formed.
