  1. enterostomy

    Enterostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening in the abdominal wall to allow the small or large intestine to bypass certain areas of the gastrointestinal tract. This opening, known as a stoma, is used to connect a tube or bag outside the body to allow for the removal or redirection of waste when normal bowel function is disrupted. Enterostomies can be temporary or permanent, depending on the individual's medical condition. Examples of enterostomies include colostomy and ileostomy.
