∙ 9y agoThe suffix -ostomy means to create an opening. A colostomy is bringing a portion of the colon to the abdominal wall through an opening. Other ostomies include ileostomy and cecostomy. One can also have an ileal diversion urostomy, in which the ureters are connected to a pouch created out of a portion of the small bowel (ileum) which then empties out through the abdominal wall.
