Abdomen of a 61-year-old male patient after massive weight loss. The patient has a colostomy which allows discharge of faeces into a bag attached to the skin. A temporary or permanent colostomy is necessary when part of the colon or rectum has to be removed, due to cancer or other bowel disorders. This patient has large folds of excess skin as a result of losing over 76 kilos (12 stone) in weight. The excess skin is due to be surgically removed in a procedure known as abdominoplasty. | |
