In the colostomy operation for colorectal cancer, what happen if the colostomy bag is broken? and how does this affect the daily activities?

Dramatically: The bag attached to the colostomy site serves the purpose of keeping the stool and intestinal waste products confined. If the bag broke, it would be messy and foul smelling, affecting your activities of daily life. A secondary bag should be available at all times to make the switch if needed. Best wishes.

Colostomy: A broken colostomy bag causes a real mess and shouldn't happen. A colostomy nurse specializes in instructing the patient and family in proper application and care of colostomies so that these accidents don't occur.
