With a double-barrel colostomy the proximal stoma delivers and the distal stoma delivers what?
In a double-barrel colostomy, the proximal stoma delivers stool from the intestine, while the distal stoma, which is typically non-functioning, may still produce mucus or fluid but does not convey fecal matter. This configuration is often used to divert fecal flow while allowing for healing of the distal bowel or for specific medical conditions. The distal stoma can be referred to as a "mucous fistula" since it may only secrete mucous.

What is a double-barrel colostomy?
This colostomy involves the creation of two separate stomas on the abdominal wall. The proximal (nearest) stoma is the functional end that is connected to the upper gastrointestinal tract and will drain stool. The distal stoma
What is the opposite of proximal?
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Is the head distal or proximal to the shoulders?
Proximal
What is the opposite of distal?
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?
Distal
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is electrical activity of the heart distal to proximal?
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
Are peyer patches in the proximal or distal intestine?
proximal ?
Is hand proximal to the elbow?
No. Proximal means closer to the body. Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
