1. An ostomy port for conducting waste content from a portion of intestine on a visceral side of an abdominal wall to an exterior of said abdominal wall, through a stoma of said intestine, comprising:

  • a tube, axially elastic along a longitudinal extent, and sufficiently pliable for being radially and reversibly collapsible upon constriction within said portion of intestine;

    an elastic fixation element attached to a visceral-side opening of said tube, and insertable into said visceral-side intestinal portion to anchor said port; and

    an elastic stoma cover, attached to an exterior-side opening of said tube, widening therefrom, and extending back over an exterior-side region of the ostomy port for contacting a surface of the exterior abdominal wall distanced from the external-side tissue of the stoma, forming a ring-shaped covering region sized to externally surround the external-side tissue of the stoma;

    said tube being of a length to extend longitudinally from a proximal side connected with said stoma cover along said length of intestine extending distally from said stoma and cross said abdominal wall such that said tube reaches said visceral side of said abdominal wall;

    the stoma cover being deformable such that any point on a circumference of the stoma cover may be displaced in the axial direction by up to a predetermined maximum level;

    wherein the tube is adapted to bend for accommodating relative motion between the stoma cover and the fixation element due to displacement by changes in tissue position while inserted across said abdominal wall.
