Abstract

  Background: Temporary colostomy is a crucial surgical procedure for treating severe colorectal diseases, helping to resolve obstruction and infection. However, living with a colostomy significantly impacts patients' quality of life, leading to an increasing demand for colostomy closure. This study aims to study the characteristics and evaluate the outcomes of colostomy closure following colorectal surgery at two major hospitals, to improve treatment quality and patient’s quality of life. Objectives:  Study on the characteristics of temporary stoma and evaluation of outcomes of colostomy closure in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 41 patients undergoing temporary colostomy closure at Can Tho Central General Hospital and Can Tho General Hospital from 2023 to 2025. Results: The average age of patients was 56.63 ± 13.21, with a male-to-female ratio of 4.86. The primary reasons for colostomy were diverticular perforation (46.34%) and colorectal cancer obstruction (31.71%). Most patients underwent colostomy closure within 3 months (56.1%), with open surgery being the most common method (53.66%). Postoperative complications mainly included wound infection (39.02%), while 53.6% of patients experienced no complications. The average hospital stay was 10.35 ± 5.40 days. Conclusion: Colostomy closure is a safe and effective procedure, contributing to improved quality of life for patients.
