The intestine's cyclic movements is applied to the large intestine and small intestine. If the large intestine stopped working, the small intestine would stop too, and all the digestive process would paralyze, leading to a fatal outcome not giving time to any surgical procedure.

Los movimientos cíclicos del intestino son aplicados al intestino grueso e intestino delgado. Si el intestino grueso dejara de trabajar, el intestino delgado se pararía también, y todo el proceso digestivo paralizaría, conduciendo a un resultado fatal que no da al tiempo a cualquier procedimiento quirúrgico.

The colostomy is applied only to a part of the large intestine, not to the ascending, descending and transverse colon together.

What would happen if the small intestine is the same length as the large intestine?

Under the assumption the intestines would give the same amount of work per cm of length as the ones you have do... If the two intestines were as long as the large intestine currently is, you'd have to eat a lot more than you do now to get proper nutrition. The small intestine pulls nutrients out of the food, and the longer it has to work, the more it can get. If the two intestines were as long as the small intestine currently is, your stool would be excruciatingly dry. The large intestine draws water from the stool, and if it was over four times longer than it now is, you'd really be in trouble.

What will happen if no small intestine?

The large intestine has, as its major function, the removal of water from the digestive tract at the end of the digestive process. (The small intestine is the primary absorber of nutrients from out of the digested material.) Without a large intestine, you'd have a much more liquid bowel emission. And you'd need to drink more water, too. It's not the best deal in the world, but it is something that can be lived with and just requires "management" on the part of an individual who has, due to accident or disease, lost the large or a large portion of the large intestine. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the large intestine.
