Which terms describe the creation of an opening between large intestines and body surface?

The terms that describe the creation of an opening between the large intestines and the body surface are colostomy and ileostomy.

Colostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (stoma) in the colon, allowing stool to pass out of the body and into a collection bag. This procedure is typically performed when there is a blockage or disease in the colon or rectum that prevents normal bowel movements.

Ileostomy is a similar surgical procedure that creates an opening in the ileum, the last portion of the small intestine, allowing stool to pass out of the body and into a collection bag. An ileostomy is typically performed when there is a blockage or disease in the small intestine that prevents normal digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Both colostomy and ileostomy are major surgical procedures that require a period of recovery and rehabilitation. However, these procedures can provide significant relief from symptoms and improve quality of life for people with certain medical conditions.
