A double-barrel colostomy is performed to create two separate openings in the abdominal wall from the colon, diverting waste from one segment while allowing the other segment to heal or function normally. This procedure is often used in cases of bowel obstruction, trauma, or diseases such as cancer, where a portion of the colon needs to be bypassed or removed. It allows for temporary or permanent diversion of stool, providing an alternative pathway for waste elimination. The two openings are typically referred to as the stoma and serve different purposes in managing bowel function.

Can you have both urostomy and colostomy?
Yes, it is possible to have both a urostomy and a colostomy at the same time, although it is relatively uncommon. This may occur in individuals who have had significant surgeries or conditions affecting both the urinary and digestive systems. Each stoma serves a different purpose: the urostomy diverts urine from the kidneys to an external pouch, while the colostomy diverts stool from the colon. Management of both types of stomas requires careful attention to hygiene and care.
