The blood plasma changes were studied up in 37 patients, to whom Hartmann [correction of Gartman] operation was conducted for cancer of recti, using the laser correlational spectroscopy (LCS) method. In 22 patients the LCS data did not differ of such in healthy persons. In these patients the reconstructive operation on colon was conducted.

[Improvement of the quality of life in patients with colostomies by using continence methods].

We analise by means of a descriptive study the improvement in the quality of life of two groups of colostomists after the use of two continence methods respectively: only the plug or the combination of the irrigation and the plug. According to the obtained results, the author confirms for both groups a mayor increase in the activities of life, a low frequency of incidences during the adaptation to the continence method, as well as a significant decrease of noises and smells and a high level of general satisfaction. Therefore we can conclude that these two continence possibilities brings for colostomists a mayor increase in their quality of life.
