That is their function: to empty the large intestine through a stoma (hole) surgically created in the colon. This bypasses the anus and a part of the colon, where the bypassed section can vary greatly in length. Depending on the length bypassed, the bags will collect either partly liquid fecal waste or mostly drier waste.
