Ostomy surgery is an operation that creates a new opening on the abdominal surface called a stoma, allowing waste from the bowel or urinary tract to exit the body when the normal pathway is diseased, injured, or surgically removed. The three most common types are colostomy (from the large intestine), ileostomy (from the small intestine), and urostomy (diverting urine after bladder removal). The operation may be planned for conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or bladder cancer, or performed as an emergency for bowel obstruction or perforation. Depending on the underlying disease, the ostomy may be temporary — later reversed in a second procedure — or permanent. The surgery can be performed through an open incision, laparoscopically through small keyhole cuts, or with robotic assistance, and most patients return to active, normal daily life after recovery.
The surgeon makes a single larger abdominal incision to access and operate on the bowel or bladder, forming the stoma through a separate opening in the abdominal wall.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
