Origin of the name Sydney: Transferred use of the surname originating as a Norman baronial name taken from the place-name St. Denis in Normandy.

Sigmoidectomy surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) Sigmoidectomy surgery removes all or part of the sigmoid colon - the S-shaped part of the large intestine just before the rectum. Where possible the two healthy ends of the intestinal tract are then rejoined. If this is not possible then a stoma may be formed.
An ostomy is an incontinent diversion. Stoma originated from the Greek word meaning opening or mouth, and refers to the piece of intestine pulled through and sutured to the skin. Colostomy is developed when a piece of the large intestine (colon) is brought through the layers of the abdomen and sutured to the skin as a stoma. Portions of the large or small intestine may be removed, depending upon the type of surgery performed.
