Brief Summary

Because the stoma will become a part of the individual's body and directly impact their quality of life, careful attention should be paid to its location and surgical procedure. Stoma care nurses should provide effective training to patients and those responsible for their care. Patients and their families should be regularly monitored, followed up, and cared for at home after discharge. They should also be provided with information about appropriate units to consult if any problems arise. Stoma support groups should be established to foster social interaction. A well-planned surgical procedure protects individuals from the development of complications and problems that can be considered a "life sentence."
