Ostomy Creation at Colorectal Surgery Associates

An ostomy is a surgically created opening in the abdomen that allows waste to exit the body when the natural pathways are no longer functional due to conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or trauma. At Colorectal Surgery Associates, we provide expert care in performing ostomy procedures with precision and compassion, ensuring patients regain comfort and confidence in their daily lives.

Types of Ostomies We Perform:

  • Colostomy: This procedure involves diverting part of the large intestine to an opening in the abdomen, typically for conditions affecting the colon or rectum.
  • Ileostomy: In this procedure, the small intestine is redirected to the abdominal wall, often used for patients with conditions like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
  • Temporary vs. Permanent Ostomies: Depending on your condition, the ostomy may be temporary to allow healing or permanent when long-term waste diversion is necessary.

We prioritize a patient-centered approach, working closely with you to determine the best type of ostomy for your needs. Our surgeons use advanced techniques, including minimally invasive options, to reduce recovery time and improve comfort.
