[Answers to ten questions often asked by colostomized patients (author's transl)].
Wishing to help practitioners, who often are slightly puzzled by the technicalities of intestinal surgery, the authors offer short answers to the ten questions most frequently asked by colostomized patients, i.e.: where is my colostomy located? How was it made? Is there any possibility of passing motions through by natural anus? What does continent colostomy mean? What are the basic rules for the maintenance of colostomy? How to choose the colostomy bag? What to do in case of intolerance to the bag? Must I follow a restrictive diet? When can my colostomy be suppressed? Can I resume work with a colostomy? No effort should be spared to prevent a colostomized patient from becoming an invalid and to help him lead a normal life.
