The medical and personal procedures required to maintain hygiene and care for a stoma are referred to as colostomy care. In a colostomy, a portion of the colon is surgically pushed through the abdominal wall to create a stoma, or opening. A colostomy bag is connected to the stoma to collect feces because waste no longer travels through the rectum.

Care for a colostomy includes:

selecting the appropriate colostomy bag type (two-piece or one-piece systems).

keeping the skin around the stoma clean.

refilling and emptying the pouch on a regular basis.

avoiding odor and leakage.

learning how to confidently manage everyday tasks.
