You had a breach of your abdominal wall in the area of your artificial anus in your duodenum. This breach of your abdominal wall has now been surgically sealed.

The small intestine is the longest section of the digestive tract. It consists of 3 sections. The 1st section begins immediately after the stomach and is called the duodenum. The gallbladder and the pancreas secrete the digestive juices in this section. The jejunum and ileum sections come next. The nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the food in the small intestine. The small intestine is followed by the large intestine.

An artificial anus can be used, for example, to get food straight to the small intestine using a tube.

A weakness sometimes develops in the abdominal wall near the artificial anus. The contents of the breach are then surgically replaced in the abdomen and the abdominal wall weakness is sealed. Foreign material or tissue is also sometimes implanted in the abdominal wall to provide extra reinforcement for the weakness there.
