With an ileostomy, the small intestine is brought up through the skin to create the stoma. The output is expected to be loose since the function of the colon is bypassed. With a colostomy, the colon is used to create the stoma. The output is based on where in the colon the stoma is created. A stoma closest to the rectum can have formed stool whereas the closer to the right side or small intestine, the stool becomes looser. A urostomy is made out of the small intestine. The ureters from both kidneys are connected to allow urine to drain from the body. This type of ostomy is placed when the urinary bladder needs to be removed.
