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
This is most often a temporary colostomy performed to rest an area of bowel, and to be later closed.
A loop colostomy is most often performed for creation of a temporary stoma to divert stool away from an area of intestine that has been blocked or ruptured.

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.
