The removal of a person's large intestine is called a "colectomy". When it is removed, the end of the small intestine (where the large intestine would normally be joined on to) is then bought to the outside surface of the person's abdomen (normally next to the navel), where it is stitched in place and a colectomy bag is then attached to collect waste material. (Yes, the colectomy bag is outside the person's body).
A person can live quite healthily without a large intestine - it is not necessary for life, just useful.

A colostomy is on the left side because the patient has had the last part of their large intestine removed from the sigmoid colon top the anus. That is the last functioning part of their large intestine, so they place the stoma and the colostomy bag in that location, on the left side. If they have a ileostomy, then the bag is on the right side because they have had their entire large intestine removed and the bag collects the fecal matter from the end of the small intestine.

Can a digestive system be transplanted?
The large intestine is not transplanted because it is not necessary to sustain life; it is considered much safer to remove a malfunctioning large intestine (i.e perform a colectomy) than it is to then transplant a new one in it's place. There are no published cases of large-intestine transplants or full intestine transplants being performed. (However small intestine transplants are now routinely performed). That's not to say that "it is not medically possible to transplant a large intestine", it just means that any 'benefits' are outweighed by the additional risks involved in transplantation (including but not limited to rejection, infection and side-effects of immuno-suppressives).
