[Social medical aspects of patients with a permanent colostomy (author's transl)].
Problems of 39 patients with permanent colostomies/ileostomies are investigated one up to seven years after having got the anus praeternaturalis. The postoperative problems of everyday life are various and often serious, they are the more severe, the less patients had been informed preoperatively and the older the patients are. Younger and more intelligent patients integrate the colostomy easier and more quickly in their everyday life. Very useful for rehabilitation is the close contact between patient and the surgeon, respectively special colostomy-consulting hours.
