Fortunately, not all people with damaged colons need to have a permanent colostomy. Only about 10 to 15 percent of people with colorectal cancer, for example, will need one. Your doctor will be able to tell you what your options are.
A colostomy is a surgical procedure to divert one end of the large intestine (colon) through an opening in the abdominal wall (tummy). The end of the bowel is called a stoma. A pouch is placed over the stoma to collect waste products that usually pass through the colon and out of the body through the rectum and anus (back passage). A colostomy can be permanent or temporary.
