Abstract

This paper reports the results of a study of persons who had undergone surgery to cure the disease ulcerative colitis. All subjects had had their colon removed and were left with an incontinent surgically constructed anus on their abdomen, called an ileostomy. The ways in which ex-patients cope with some of the consequences of surgery are described. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews, which were analysed qualitatively.
