What Is An Ostomy?

In this video, Shield HealthCare's Ostomy Lifestyle Specialist, Laura Cox, goes over ostomy basics: what an ostomy/stoma is and why someone would have ostomy surgery. She also covers how anatomy works before and after surgery, the difference between an external ostomy pouch and an internal J-pouch, and whether or not ostomies are permanent. Additionally, Laura discusses her own reasons for having ostomy surgery and what her recovery was like.
