Indications and Comptications of Colostomy

This research was conducted between August 1, 1969 and January 1, 1981 at the D.Ü.T.F. It was performed on 247 collars undergoing colostomy for various reasons in the General Surgery Clinic. 200 of our patients (81%) are male. 47 (19%) of them are women. The average age is 39. Colostomy was performed urgently in 196 (79.3%) of 247 colostomy cases, and elective in 51 (20.7%). Intestinal obstruction in 109 cases (44.2%). Colorectal injury in 64 patients (25.9%). In 30 cases (12.2%), colorectal cancer is the most common cause of colostomy. Of the 248 colostomies, 193 (77.8%) were temporary and 55 (22.2%) were continuous colostomies. Of all colostomies, 85 (34.3%) Hartmann, 52 (c7c 21) sigmoid, 41 (16.5%) right transverse. 25 (10.1%) were left transverse, 17 (6.8%) were sigmoid end, 16 (6.5%) were cacostomy, and 12 (4.8%) were double barrel type colostomy. 114 postoperative complications were detected in 76 (30.8%) of 248 patients. Of these, 24 (21.1%) were serious complications related to colostomy. 86 (34.8%) of 247 colostomilis were lost due to various reasons.
