The procedure for administering a barium enema to a patient with a colostomy differs somewhat from that for the regular examination because of the lack of a sphincter.The main problem with barium administration through a colostomy is trying to prevent leakage without damaging the colostomy.A cone-shaped tip with a long drainage bag that attaches to it is frequently preferred.
