When Your Child Needs a Stoma
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
If your child has a problem affecting the intestines, he or she may need a stoma (opening). A stoma provides a new way for stool and mucus to leave the body. During surgery to create a stoma, the colon or sometimes part of the small intestine is removed or disconnected. The end of the intestine is then rerouted through the abdominal wall. Waste leaves the body through the stoma and empties into a bag. It's important to help care for your child's stoma at home and to help your child adjust to having a stoma.
