Surgery for Intestinal Tear and Colostomy

The provider repairs a tear or hole in the large intestine with sutures and washes out the abdomen with antibiotic solution or normal saline. In addition, the provider performs a colostomy to divert food waste into a bag worn externally. The provider performs this procedure to give the damaged tissue and sutured area time to heal and avoid possible infection from contamination by fecal material.
