Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The operation described in the question is the creation of an ostomy, which involves surgically creating an artificial opening in the body for the elimination of bodily wastes. This is typically done as a result of a surgical removal of part of the small or large intestine or the bladder. A cystectomy is a surgical removal of the bladder, but it does not necessarily involve the creation of an ostomy. A simple mastectomy is a surgical removal of the breast, which is not related to the question. An indwelling catheter is a type of catheter that remains in the body for an extended period and is used to drain urine from the bladder, but it does not involve the creation of an artificial opening in the body.
