Colostomy Formation

• A colostomy is an opening onto the abdominal
  wall where the large bowel is brought through.
  The word colostomy is made from two Greek words
  Kolon, meaning large intestine, and stoma
  meaning mouth.
• A colostomy may have one or two ends of
  bowel brought out or be at the stoma site. If it
   is just one end it is called an end colostomy.

Colostomy-Permanent or Temporary?

• A colostomy may be permanent or temporary. It is
  permanent if all the bowel downstream of the
  ileostomy has been cut out (resected), or is
  diseased and the stoma or bag should not be
  closed, or if the person is too unwell to have
  their bag ever closed. It is temporary if the
  bowel downstream and anus are still intact and
  able to function, and the person is well enough
  to have their bag closed.

End Colostomy

• The most common form  is an end colostomy
  which is commonly made if the rectum and anus had
  to be resected downstream because of a low rectal
  cancer or a potentially temporary end colostomy,
  if the sigmoid colon or part of it had to be cut
  out or resected as part of emergency surgery for
  diverticular disease, and the bowel was not
  suitable for being joined at that surgery.

  with stomas, and they will commonly site your
