The bowel or urinary tract.

Posted on by Leakey

An ostomy is an artificial opening on the abdominal wall through which waste material passes out of the body from the bowel or urinary tract. It provides a means for the collection of waste from a surgically diverted biological system (colon, ileum, bladder) and the creation of a stoma. Pouching systems are commonly associated with colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies. The most common are ileostomy & colostomy for gastrointestinal diversions and urostomy for urinary diversion.
