Colostomy. This is a surgical operation where the colon is brought through the abdominal wall and opened in order to drain or decompress the intestine. The colostomy may be temporary, eventually being closed after weeks or months to restore continuity; or permanent, when the rectum or lower colon has been removed. An appliance is worn over the colostomy opening to prevent soiling the clothes. | |
