Colostomy and Colostomy Closure
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1977A series of 181 adult patients subjected to colostomy was studied, almost all of whom had disease rather than injury. The complication rate was 28 per cent. One hundred of these patients had a subsequent colostomy closure with a complication rate of 17 per cent.

Colostomies and the use of colostomy appliances
British Journal of Nursing, 2008The surgical formation of a colostomy is indicated as part of the treatment of various conditions, primarily colon cancer, requiring the patient (ostomist) to wear a colostomy pouch. Today’s stoma appliances bear no resemblance to those worn three or four decades ago when colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy bags were made entirely from rubber.

AbstractAlthough the care of the artificial anus is solved to a satisfactory degree and most of the patients have no problems with it, the decision to perform a definitive colostomy must be reflected thoroughly. It should not be performed unless alternative methods, particularly the deep anterior resection of the rectum, can be excluded.

Colostomies function sometimes because of irrigations and sometimes in spite of irrigations. The approach to one's own normal dietary habits, rather than the dependence upon a standard colostomy diet, seems to give a better regulation of colostomy ...
