Abstract:
The case which we describe in the following article is an example of the application of new advances in stomatology as well as an example of perfect coordination among medical professionals. A basic element for high quality health care. We describe the accidental removal of a loop colostomy with detachment and colaspe of the stoma and the corresponding treatment followed in order to maintain the viability of the stoma. Finally, we mention the advantages obtained in choosing a conservative treatment for this kind of complicated stomas.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
