An ostomy is a surgical procedure that is performed if the digestive system or urinary tract become damaged or diseased and unable to excrete waste. An ostomy refers to a surgically created opening in the body for the discharge of body wastes. By attaching the end of the small or large intestine or the end of the ureter to the outside of the body, waste can leave the body and flow into a collection system for disposal. The point at which the ureter or intestine protrudes from the abdominal wall is called the stoma.
An ostomy requires an odor-proof pouch that is attached to the stoma to collect body waste. It is held to the skin by adhesives. Ostomy pouching systems can be either one or two pouch systems.
