"OVERVIEW You may need a colostomy if you have a medical condition that requires you to stop using your colon or anus normally. It may be a temporary intervention that allows your body to heal, or it may be a permanent solution for an irreversible condition. A colostomy is an operation that redirects your colon from its normal route, down toward the anus, to a new opening in your abdominal wall. The opening is called a stoma. The colon, where poop forms, will now expel poop through your stoma instead of your anus. You may need to wear a colostomy bag to catch the poop when it comes out. Some people only have a colostomy for a few months, and others need it for life. a procedure to remove part or all of your colon. Other conditions may require you to stop using your colon, either temporarily or permanently. After the operation, ""colostomy"" also refers to your newly redirected colon. Your healthcare provider will talk to you about living with and caring for your colostomy.
