Good question, i've often wondered about this. Googled it and didn't find a hint of an answer?
Whatever it is, i bet it's not a simple matter for us Ken butts!!!

When I found this web site, I didn't think its name had anything to do with actually meeting an ostomate but I later learned there were some folks who did meet and develop relationships. How good is that? That wasn't my intention. I definitely didn't want anyone to meet me. I felt broken and wasn't prepared to express those feelings. I thought it was a place where ostomates wrote about themselves, posed questions, shared thoughts, told jokes and, sometimes, just vented. I thought of it as a community of folks with similar interests and various degrees of experience. Mostly I found some of the most caring, selfless, wise and understanding people I ever imagined. I was so impressed with some of the writings; not because of their literary value but the way in which they addressed such a very complex environment. I read hundreds of exchanges and admired the way folks cared for each other. I became hopeful with my own situation and looked forward to the next day's offerings. Certainly some contributors stood out with their experience or particular skills in addressing some things but it seemed like a total effort with synergistic results. I felt blessed to have found this site. I still do.

Yes i have had it done twice. It is a proceedure that is done in the operating room. They have three way of getting to the prostate. One is through the penis. The second is under the testicals between there and the rectum. and the last and most diffculted it through the stomic. That requires your gastro doctor to be present. I just had it done in September. And all is well.
