This is an Integrative Review of Scientific Literature, whose search for studies occurred in the following databases: Lilacs, CINAHL, PubMed/MedLine, BDENF, Scopus, SciELO Virtual Library and reverse search of selected articles. Of the 14 articles compiled, 78.57% have a descriptive design; the Lilacs database had the highest number of articles (64.28%); the Revista Brasileira de Coloproctologia was the one that published the most (42.85%), with a predominance of publications equally in the years 2017 and 2018 (21.42%); the Northeast region predominated in the number of articles published (49.98%). The predominant age ranged from 60 to 100 years (47.86%); married (26.64%); male (53.83%), of mixed ethnicity (20.97%), Catholic (6.51%), retired (23.11%), with elementary education (33.95%) and salary income ≤ 1 minimum wage (24.60%). There was a predominance of colostomy (83.95%), urgent (11.83%), without preoperative demarcation (4.22%), temporary permanence (42.69%), having the neoplasm as the cause main (51.14%), with complication of dermatitis (3.88%), diameter 20-40mm (1.69%), of 1 piece (16.15%), with pasty effluent (3.03%). The scarcity of Brazilian research on the subject is highlighted. However, it was possible to expand knowledge about the studied population.
