| stoma |
A temporary opening in the abdominal wall that allows the end of the small or large intestine to be brought through the abdomen and fastened onto the surface of the skin. This enables waste materials from the intestines to pass through the stoma and empty into a bag called a colostomy bag. This flexible bag is fastened to the skin around the stoma and fits close to the body.
