What is urostomy?
A urostomy is an opening in the abdominal wall (belly) that is made during surgery. It detours, or re-directs urine away from a bladder that is diseased or not working as it should. The bladder is either bypassed or removed, and the urine is passed out of the body through an opening called a stoma. Surgery to remove the bladder is called a cystectomy. The stoma will look pink to red and will be moist and shiny. It will shrink over a short period of time after surgery. The shape will be round to oval. Some stomas may stick out a little, while others are flush with the skin. You will not be able to start and stop urine coming out through the stoma, so a pouch will be fitted to collect the urine as it comes out.

Why a stoma may be fashioned?
If you mean a surgically created opening to the urinary bladder or to the intestines, or for a tracheostomy, they are open. e.g. A stoma IS always open. A temporary stoma may be made and later closed, but by definition, stoma is an "opening".1. Picture of trach stoma. - This shows a trach stoma cap which protects the stoma.2. Picture of a loop ileostomy. -- Whether the stoma opens to bowel or bladder, the outside of the stoma appears basically the same. If for bladder, a small flexible tube is kept put through the stoma; a see-through "bag" attached to the skin (or upper thigh) collects the urine which the person must dump. The tubing is replaced periodically. If for bowel, a see through pouch is affixed onto the skin, over the stoma, to collect feces. The feces must be 'dumped' also.On any stoma, the area must be cleansed or the tender tissue can break down, bleed, become infected, etc.
