Hi,
That is a great question,
The type of approach used depends on what other procedure needs to be done. The surgical cut is usually made in the middle of the abdomen. The bowel resection or repair is done as needed.
For the colostomy, one end of the healthy colon is brought out through an opening made in the abdomen wall, usually on the left side. The edges of bowel are stitched to the skin of opening. This opening is called a stoma. A bag called a stoma appliance is placed around the opening to allow stool to drain.
Your colostomy may be short-term. If you have surgery on part of your large intestine, a colostomy allows the other part of your intestine to rest while you recover. Once your body has fully recovered from the first surgery, you will have another surgery to reattach the ends of the large intestine. This is usually done after 12 weeks.
I can appreciate your concern, however I am pretty sure that a reversal would be possible, talk to your doctor,Warm regards

I don't know if I am asking the correct medical specialty
I don't know if I am asking the correct medical specialty this question but this is it:My father in the UK ( I am in New Zealand) had a ruptured aortic aneurism 7 weeks ago today. He was operated on successfully (open surgery, not an endvar), 4 days later his wound was weeping (they already knew he had an infection) went back to theatre and removed large bowel, so now has a stoma. I ‘m aware since then he has had a catheter in place, which I thought was to do with his kidney function, he was on dialysis for a couple of weeks, but is no longer, his kidney function is now 30.So I thought the catheter was to monitor the output, but when I spoke to a nurse earlier this week, she said it wasn't and may be in for a week or 2 more or may go home with it. My mother either doesn't know or won't tell me why the catheter is still In place. When I called the hospital again and spoke to a different nurse, all she would say is that he can't evacuate urine.I am really concerned about this, as I don't want him to end up with a stoma and a catheter for the rest of his life He is in his early seventies and was perfectly healthy and active before the triple AAA. I know he had the normal elderly man issue of having to get up to urinate at night, but I believe he had the normal prostate screening process that elderly men have.So my question why would he still have a catheter in place and is it likely to be permanent.? … read more
