Anatomy of Ileostomy and Colostomy

An ileostomy connects the small intestine (ileum) to the abdominal wall, typically in the lower right side, producing continuous, liquid waste rich in digestive enzymes. A colostomy connects the large intestine (colon) to the wall, usually on the lower-left side, producing firmer, more regulated waste.
