In 1776 the first successful operation was performed, but at the time there was no bag used, just sponges and straps. In 1795 (according to the Atlas of Intestinal Stomas) a man named Daguescea used a leather bag with a patient he had given an "artificial anus." It wasn't until 1934 that the Koenig-Rutzen patent was applied for, which was the first in the wave of better ways to treat ostomy patients.

What happens when you remove colostomy bag?
When a colostomy bag is removed, the stoma (the opening created during colostomy surgery) is exposed, and any stool or gas that would normally exit through the bag will now be released directly from the stoma. This can lead to potential leakage or skin irritation if not managed properly. It is essential to clean the area and apply a new bag promptly to prevent complications. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on managing a stoma.

Why is a colostomy placed on the left side of the body?
A colostomy is on the left side because the patient has had the last part of their large intestine removed from the sigmoid colon top the anus. That is the last functioning part of their large intestine, so they place the stoma and the colostomy bag in that location, on the left side. If they have a ileostomy, then the bag is on the right side because they have had their entire large intestine removed and the bag collects the fecal matter from the end of the small intestine.
