[Social aspects in patients with temporary colostomy].
Some aspects of the social life and trend of work were studied in 188 patients with temporary colostomy formed after radical operation for various diseases and injury of the colon. In the group of 188 patients examined after surgery, 160 were declared invalids (group I--6 persons, group II--72, group III--82 persons). Diminished social activity, development of an asthenic personality and of familiar and social conflicts were noted in many cases. With the object of rehabilitation, patients with temporary colostomy should be trained in the methods of irrigation of the large intestine while they are still in the hospital and the question of restoration of natural continuity of the intestine should be contemplated in time.
