What is a Colostomy?

While colostomy refers to a problem with the large intestine or colon. This could occur because of serious health problems. In this surgery, a doctor makes a small opening utilising a colonoscopy technique. Waste is collected in a specially designed bag, connected to the outside of the body. This is an alternative when the normal route isn’t working.

Ostomy and Colostomy Home in Dubai:

People who have problems with their digestive systems or urinary tracts find it difficult to handle feces. Modern medicine has come a long way in solving Ostomy, by making a small opening in your belly (called a stoma). This helps feces leave the body through a special bag more easily and safely. Depending on what’s going on in your body, this can be classified into three techniques.

  • Ileostomy
  • Colostomy
  • Urostomy

What are the benefits of an Ostomy?

Undergoing an ostomy surgery in Dubai offers multiple key benefits:

Life-saving: Intervention in specific medical cases can mean the difference between life and death.

Aids with health problems: It can track urinary/digestive diseases and treat them.

Prospering quality of life: After surgery, people often stay great, pleased, and live happy lives.

Reasons Individuals Would Need Ostomy and Colostomy:

You might need to undergo ostomy and colostomy procedures if you or the people around you are suffering from the following conditions:

  • Intestinal Blockage
  • Tumor development in the colon or rectum
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Injury sustained by the digestive tract
  • Malignancy of the bladder
  • Serious infections, like diverticulitis

Exploring Types of Pouching Systems:

Stoma bags come in a variety of sizes and styles. This is tailored to different types of bodies and preferences. Finding the best fit is an important part of your recovery or healing process. A nurse can assist you with choosing the one that is perfect for you. Each system includes a secure bag for output and a soft barrier to protect your skin.

Primarily, the two most common types of pouches are:

One-piece pouches:

These combine the pouch and the skin barrier into a single unit, so you remove both at the same time.

Two-piece pouches:

The pouch comes off on its own while keeping the barrier attached.

Some bags are easy to manage or effortless to empty from the base, whereas others must be removed and replaced once full.

What Does a Colostomy Procedure Involve?

When it is no longer possible to exit waste the normal way, a person needs help passing excrements safely. To help the patient, general anesthesia is given so they do not feel sensation or pain. There are two main types of colostomy surgeries. 

One is called a loop colostomy, often used when the problem is temporary, and it is easy to reverse later. The second one is called an end colostomy, for permanent cases, based on the patient’s needs. The doctor will prescribe based on requirements and health.

The Surgical Procedure of Ostomy:

First, the doctor numbs the affected area using anesthesia so the patient does not feel pain during the surgery. Then, one long cut or a few small cuts using a camera and specialized tools (laparoscopy) are made in the abdominal wall carefully. An intestine is brought to the surface to create an opening called a stoma. The waste is collected in an external pouch, where it is collected and disposed of later.

After-ops Instructions:

Here are easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions:

  • Healing takes time, and personal hygiene is important.
  • A warm bath relaxes the abdominal muscles
  • Eat soft food to let your body adjust
