Colostomy Surgery – Effective Treatment for Severe Intestinal Conditions

Understanding Colostomy Surgery

A colostomy is a surgery where an opening is made in the abdominal wall to bring part of the colon outside the body. This opening, called a stoma, allows waste to leave the body when the normal route is not possible. It is often done to treat problems in the digestive system.

Colostomy – Inside the Operating Room

During a colostomy, the surgeon carefully cuts a section of the large intestine and brings it through the abdominal wall to form the stoma. Surgical tools like scalpels, clamps, and sutures are used to make precise cuts and secure the intestine in place. The surgery can be done through an open incision or laparoscopically with small cameras and instruments. The stoma allows waste to bypass damaged or diseased parts of the colon. A special colostomy bag is attached to collect waste outside the body. This method helps maintain the body’s waste elimination when normal bowel function is disrupted.

When Colostomy is Needed

• Blockage or injury to the colon or rectum.
• Cancer of the colon or rectum requiring removal of part of the bowel.
• Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
• Severe infection or trauma in the lower digestive tract.
