Intestinal Stoma
An intestinal stoma is a surgically created opening in the abdomen that connects the intestine to the outside to allow bowel movements to exit into a special bag. It can be temporary or permanent, depending on each person's situation.
Why is it done? It is part of the management of various conditions of the digestive system when it is necessary to divert or protect a stretch of the intestine.
General care: It requires attention to the skin around the stoma and management of the bag, with guidance from the health care team.
