10. A loop colostomy is defined as a stoma in which the
entire loop of colon is exteriorized and both the
proximal limb and the distal limb open into the
common stoma opening and are not transected
A Endcolostomy is a surgical procedure in which an opening
(stoma) is formed by drawing the healthy end of the large
intestine or colon through an incision in the anterior abdominal
wall and suturing it into place.
With a double-barrel colostomy, two separate stomas are
created. Both ends of the bowel are brought through the
abdomen to the skin surface as two separate sections. Typically
the distal colon is not removed but bypassed. The
proximalstoma, which is functional, diverts feces to the
abdominal wall.
