The elimination of waste products from the body through urine.

The process of maintaining the balance between acids and bases in the body.

The process of regulating the pressure of blood flowing through blood vessels.

The process of producing red blood cells in the bone marrow.

The process of maintaining the proper levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body.

A surgical procedure where a portion of the bladder is brought to the surface of the abdomen to create an opening (stoma) for urine to drain.

The ability to control the elimination of urine.

Infection of the urinary tract, which includes the bladder, kidneys, and ureters.

A type of ostomy device with an integrated pouch and skin barrier, offering a slimmer profile and easier application but limited flexibility and wear time.

A type of ostomy device with a separate pouch that can be changed independently from the reusable skin barrier. Offers flexibility, longer wear time, and reduced skin irritation but may have a bulkier profile.

The protective barrier attached to the skin around the stoma to seal the ostomy device and prevent leaks.

The part of the ostomy device that collects waste.

The ability of an ostomy device to conform to the body's natural movements and curves for a comfortable and secure fit.

The level of comfort an ostomy device provides to the patient, minimizing irritation or discomfort.

The ability of an ostomy device to be hidden from view, allowing the patient to live a normal life without drawing attention to their condition.

The range of sizes and shapes offered by an ostomy device to ensure the best match based on individual needs and body types.

An artificial opening created in a bodily organ to communicate with the exterior. The prefix specifies the organ while the suffix is '-ostomy.'

Ileostomy is a type of ostomy specifically created in the ileum, the final part of the small intestine. It allows for waste removal from the body through the opening.

A colostomy is a surgical procedure creating an opening in the colon (large intestine) that communicates with the exterior. Used when the colon cannot function properly.

A urostomy, also called ureterostomy, is a surgical procedure involving the creation of an opening in the urinary tract (specifically the ureter) to divert urine to the outside of the body, bypassing the bladder. Usually created for patients with bladder dysfunction or cancer.

Temporary ostomies are created for a short period, usually until the original organ heals. Permanent ostomies are done when the organ's function can not be retrieved.

Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, intestinal occlusions, diverticulitis, and neurogenic bladder, bladder exstrophy, and obstructive lithiasis are some pathologies that can lead to the creation of an ostomy.

The primary functions of the digestive system are the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste. The small intestine absorbs nutrients, while the large intestine absorbs water and controls bowel movements.

Patients with digestive ostomies might experience a loss of bowel control as the digestive process is altered. The inability to absorb water and electrolytes properly can lead to dehydration.
