An ostomy (or stoma) is a surgical opening made in the skin when a problem is not allowing a part of the body to function well. A tracheostomy is done for breathing problems, while an abdominal (belly) ostomy can allow wastes to leave from the intestines (ileostomy or colostomy) or from the bladder (urostomy).
