Colostomy bag for lung infection?

A bag was put in to drain any infection of the lungs after surgery 10 days ago. The whole apparatus has been removed about 10 minutes ago. I called the hospital with concerns about leakage into the internal cavity. I got a response that it would be okay. I need an answer from someone that will verify if that is correct or not. The surgery stemmed from a gunshot in late September this year and infection had taken course after being out of the hospital.

Female | 33 years old
Complaint duration: Just within the last 30 minutes
Medications: None taken
Conditions: Recovery after gunshot
