All of the following are types of ostomies except:

  1. Colostomy

  2. Craniostomy

  3. Gastrostomy

  4. Ileostomy

The correct answer is: Craniostomy

The correct answer is B Craniostomy. A Colostomy, Gastrostomy, and Ileostomy are all types of surgical procedures that create an opening in the abdomen for the temporary or permanent diversion of fecal matter, urine, or stomach contents, respectively. A Craniostomy, on the other hand, is a type of surgical procedure that involves creating an opening in the skull to access the brain for neurological examinations or procedures. Therefore, it is not considered a type of ostomy.
