A stoma is a medical opening created during an ostomy procedure, advancing personal health by offering a new way to remove waste from the body. Typically, stomas appear on the abdomen, resembling a small, pink rosebud made of mucosa. The stoma serves in essential body functions, including eating, digestion, and waste removal, making it instrumental for those with digestive or urinary tract issues. Ensuring proper stoma care is essential to maintain a high quality of life after an ostomy procedure.#16#
