THE MOST COMMON TUBES THAT ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THE ABDOMINAL WALL ARE:
COLOSTOMY...THIS CONNECTS TO THE COLON (LARGE INTESTINE) AND DRAINS BOWEL MOVEMENT.
ILEOSTOMY...THIS CONNECTS TO THE ILEUM (PART OF THE SMALL INTESTINE) AND DRAINS BOWEL MOVEMENT.
UROSTOMY...THIS CONNECTS TO THE BLADDER OR KIDNEYS AND DRAINS URINE.
GASTROSTOMY...GOES INTO THE ACTUAL STOMACH AND IS USED TO FEED PEOPLE. ALSO COULD BE CALLED A G-TUBE, OR GASTRIC FEEDING TUBE.
THE CATHETER MENTIONED BY A PREVIOUS RESPONDER DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE ABDOMINAL WALL. IT PASSES THROUGH THE URETHRA (THE TUBE IN YOUR BODY THAT NORMALLY DRAINS URINE) TO THE BLADDER (WHERE YOUR BODY STORES URINE)
Well there are different things. There is a feeding tube that will run through the mouth. A cather removes urine and a colostomy removes faeces
