  2. Ileostomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ileostomy

    The capacity of the internal pouch increases steadily after surgery: from 50 cm 3, when first constructed, to 600–1000 cm 3 over a period of months, when the pouch fully matures. The opening through which the catheter is introduced into the pouch is called the stoma. It is a small, flat, button-hole opening on the abdomen.

  3. Ileo-anal pouch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ileo-anal_pouch

    In medicine, the ileal pouch–anal anastomosis (IPAA), also known as restorative proctocolectomy (RPC), ileal-anal reservoir (IAR), an ileo-anal pouch, ileal-anal pullthrough, or sometimes referred to as a J-pouch, S-pouch, W-pouch, or a pelvic pouch, is an anastomosis of a reservoir pouch made from ileum (small intestine) to the anus, bypassing the former site of the colon in cases where the ...

  4. Ostomy system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostomy_system

    Pouching systems usually consist of a collection pouch, a barrier on the skin, and connect with the stoma itself, which is the part of the body that has been diverted to the skin. The system may be a one-piece system consisting only of a bag or, in some instances involve a device placed on the skin with a collection pouch that is attached ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_management_of...

    The stoma may be colostomy (where the colon is ended in a stoma) or ileostomy (where the ileum is ended in a stoma). Both may involve the creation of an internal waste-holding reservoir in a procedure developed by Dr. Nils Kock in the late 1960s. [21] Diversion colitis is inflammation of the section of gut through which stool no longer passes ...

  6. Stoma (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoma_(medicine)

    The stoma is usually covered with a removable pouching system (adhesive or mechanical) that collects and contains the output for later disposal. Modern pouching systems enable most individuals to resume normal activities and lifestyles after surgery, often with no outward physical evidence of the stoma or its pouching system.

  7. Mitrofanoff procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitrofanoff_procedure

    A tube is typically also placed in the urethra or through a suprapubic opening to ensure full urine drainage and to rest the bladder during recovery. [25] The tubes are generally removed and the channel is ready to use with intermittent catheters in 4–6 weeks, [25] provided that a medical professional first instructs on how to catheterize. [23]

  8. Colostomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colostomy

    Only the proximal stoma is functioning. Most often, double-barrel colostomy is a temporary colostomy with two openings into the colon (distal and proximal). The elimination occurs through the proximal stoma. Colostomy surgery that is planned usually has a higher rate of long-term success than surgery performed in an emergency situation.

  9. Tracheotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheotomy

    An example is in the 2008 horror film, Saw V, in which a character being drowned from the neck up performs a manual tracheotomy, stabbing his neck with a pen to create an airway to breathe through. The most common procedure is a cricothyrotomy (or "crike"), which is an incision through the skin and cricothyroid membrane. This is often confused ...
