The aim is to compare functional outcome and or quality of life in patients with a stoma that was constructed as an emergency procedure with patients where a stoma was created as a planned procedure. To do this data will be retrieved from the Swedish Patient Register to identify all patients with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer and a stoma construction procedure during two previous calender years. To collect data on stoma function and quality of life a specific questionnaire will be sent to the cohort approximately within 2 years of the procedure.
