</html><description>The surgical construction of an artificial outlet for the intestine.A surgical operation to make an opening between the small intestine and the abdominal wall.Surgical creation of a permanent opening into the intestine through the abdominal wall performed in the treatment of cancer, Crohn&#x2019;s disease, and sometimes malnutrition.An operation in which a surgeon creates a connection between the small intestine and a stoma or opening in the abdominal wall, allowing for emptying of the feces into a bag attached to the skin. Sometimes referred to simply as an ostomy, an enterostomy may be necessary in severe cases of intestinal disorders, such as Crohn disease, colitis, and cancer.An operation in which the small intestine is opened and drained by a tube or brought through the abdominal wall or is joined to the stomach (gastroenterostomy) or to another loop of small intestine (enteroenterostomy).An operation by which an artificial opening is formed into the intestine and joined to another part of the intestine or brought to the exterior via the abdominal wall.A surgically created opening into a portion of the gastrointestinal tract.An intestinal surgery involves connecting a section of the small or large intestine to another part of the gastrointestinal tract or to the abdominal wall. For instance, when a portion of the colon (large intestine) is brought through an incision in the abdominal wall to facilitate the elimination of feces into a bag attached to the skin, it is known as a colostomy. On the other hand, when the ileum (the last segment of the small intestine) is utilized, the procedure is referred to as an ileostomy.A surgical procedure that involves bringing a segment of the intestine through the abdominal wall to create an external opening. This allows the intestinal contents to be expelled through this new opening rather than through the anus.</description></oembed>
