[Definitive colostomy and quality of life].
The authors present their experience with permanent colostomy after abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. In order to avoid colostomy-related complications, pre- and postsurgical care are of paramount importance as well as a proper surgical technique. Extraperitoneal colostomy prevents the frequency described early and late complications. Learning colostomy irrigation helps the patient to overcome any physical or psychological problems related to colostomy.
