A transverse loop colostomy is a type of surgical procedure where a loop of the transverse colon is brought through the abdominal wall to create an opening, allowing stool to exit the body into a colostomy bag. This is typically performed when a portion of the colon needs to be bypassed or removed due to conditions like cancer, diverticulitis, or trauma. The loop colostomy can be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying medical issue and the patient's treatment plan. It allows for bowel function management while the affected area heals or undergoes further treatment.
