A study was established concerning a continent colostomy system consisting of a new one-piece disposable plug. Twenty patients participated: 13 men and 7 women, who ranged in age from 35 to 87 years. All patients had an end colostomy located on the left lower quadrant. The colostomy age ranged from 2 months to 7 years. Of the 20 participants, 17 found the new procedure to be safer and more comfortable, as well as a considerable improvement for their quality of life. The other three patients found no advantage in its use. In no case was there any perception of local, secondary, or general adverse effects owing to its use. Taking into consideration that the use of this new device does not require any type of special conditioning, we consider that it can contribute to the better quality of life of a colostomy patient, the one best able to evaluate the worthiness of its use.
