OVERVIEW
An ostomy is a surgically created opening between an internal organ and the
body surface. Ostomies are often created as a part of intestinal surgery when
there must be a new way for intestinal waste to leave the body. This information
was prepared to help patients understand what an ostomy is, learn how to live
with an ostomy, relieve concerns they may have and assure them that they can
enjoy an active and fulfilling life with an ostomy.
