[Surgical treatment of patients with colostoma]
Abstract:
Results of treatment of postcolostomy patients are analyzed. In 74.7% cases colostoma was created due to tumor of the rectum or colon, in 6.5% -- due to diverticulosis, in 3.5% -- due to nonspecific ulcerative colitis, Krohn's and other diseases. Complications were diagnosed in 15.2% patients. Surgical treatment was carried out in 714 (43.6%) patients, 568 (79.5%) of them underwent reconstructive surgeries, 146 (20.4%) were operated for stoma complications. New methods of rectal stump preparation for surgery were used: method of differentiation of rectal stump and urether during surgeries, methods of delayed anastomosis. Laparoscopic mobilization of the colon during reconstructive surgeries led to a decrease of surgical trauma and number of complications.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
