Your child needs a stoma if he or she has a problem with the intestines. This problem may be due to: • A congenital (present at birth) health problem (such as intestinal malrotation). • An illness that affects the intestines (such as ulcerative colitis). • An injury or surgery that affected the intestines.A stoma allows stool and mucus to leave the body and empty into a bag. A stoma is temporary to allow the intestines to heal after illness or surgery. Or, a stoma is permanent when the intestines are damaged or a large portion has been removed.
