Effective colostomy irrigation

W P Mazier et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1976 Jun.

Abstract

The ultimate goal of the cone method of colostomy irrigation is to return patients with colostomies to their former role in society with confidence in themselves to the extent that having a colostomy is not considered a handicap. The results have generally been excellent. We believe all patients with stomas should be afforded the opportunity to attempt colostomy irrigation.
