Bowel Diversion Surgery is a procedure where the normal flow of waste through the intestines is rerouted, often due to disease, cancer, or trauma. This surgery creates a new pathway for waste to leave the body, typically through a stoma or colostomy.

The surgery can involve creating a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy depending on the area of the bowel affected. It may be necessary for conditions such as colorectal cancer, Crohn's disease, or bowel obstructions.

Postoperative care includes managing the stoma, monitoring for infection, and providing emotional and nutritional support. Patients may also require assistance in adjusting to lifestyle changes after the surgery.

Bowel diversion surgery provides life-saving benefits for patients with severe gastrointestinal conditions, restoring normal waste elimination and improving overall health.
