This is most often a temporary colostomy performed to rest an area of bowel, and to be later closed.
An end colostomy is usually a permanent ostomy, resulting from trauma, cancer, or another pathological condition.
Surgery will result in one of three types of colostomies: End colostomy Double-barrel colostomy Loop colostomy
preferred site for permanent colostomy
This colostomy involves the creation of two separate stomas on the abdominal wall. The proximal (nearest) stoma is the functional end that is connected to the upper gastrointestinal tract and will drain stool. The distal stoma
Although colorectal cancer is the most common indication for a permanent colostomy, only about 10-15% of patients with this diagnosis require a colostomy.
Depending on the severity, a permanent colostomy may be required for more advanced cases, or manual colostomy for less severe cases.

Double Barrel Benefit was created in 2004.
Temporary colostomies are created to divert stool from injured or diseased portions of the large intestine, allowing rest and healing. Permanent colostomies are performed when the distal bowel (bowel at the farthest distance) must be removed

Not always This procedure is called a proctectomy also known as rectectomy. It depends on the surgeon and where the diseased portion of the bowel was. Some or all of the sphincter muscle may be removed. The sphincter muscle is located just above the closure of the anus, and is responsible for bowel control which is no longer needed with a permanent colostomy. When this muscle is removed, the surgeon usually creates a small pouch or pocket that appears from the outside to be a normal anus.
There is no need to start a double barrel. A double barrel shotgun needs to be loaded like you would a single barrel shotgun only using two bullets. You then cock the gun, aim, and fire.
