http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colostomy

A colostomy is a surgical procedure that involves connecting a part of the colon onto theanterior abdominal wall, leaving the patient with an opening on the abdomen called a stoma. In a colostomy, the stoma is formed from the end of the large intestine, which is drawn out through the incision and sutured to the skin. After a colostomy, feces leave the patient's body through the abdomen.

  2. If you are reading this please help in the safe return of "Gollum" the Italian Greyhound whom is still MIA. Dog trackers may have picked up the scent around the Basswood & Beach Street area. Thank you so very much!
