AB An  intestinal  stoma  is  an  opening  of  the  intestinal  or  urinary  tract  onto  the  abdominal  wall,  constructed  surgically  or  appearing  inadvertently.  A  colostomy  is  a  connection  of  the  colon  to  the  skin  of  the  abdominal  wall.  An  ileostomy  involves  exteriorization  of  the  ileum  on  the  abdominal  skin.  In  rare  instances,  the  proximal  small  bowel  may  be  exteriorized  as  a  jejunostomy.  A  urinary  conduit  involves  a  stoma  on  the  abdominal  wall  that  serves  to  convey  urine  to  an  appliance  placed  on  the  skin.  The  conduit  may  consist  of  an  intestinal  segment,  or  in  some  cases  a  direct  implantation  of  the  ureter,  or  even  the  bladder,  on  the  abdominal  wall.
