Stoma - Gastrointestinal stoma classification - Ileostomy - colostomy - stoma education series
Stoma creation and management is the most common surgical case that most of us have seen during our medical training and residency days.
However, there is a scarcity of structured data on stoma be it ileostomy or colostomy.
We remember our medical school days where we dreaded a stoma case as we did not know how to go about it.
This gastrointestinal stoma care series is an attempt from our gastrointestinal surgery division to provide a piece of structured information on stoma basics, creation of a stoma, and stoma management for patients.
In this series, we attempt to cover
- - Basics of stoma
- - Ileostomy
- - Colostomy
- - Feeding stomas
- - Stoma care
- - Stoma education for patients and caregivers as well as care providers
As is the work of EDUSURG CLINICS in a team setting, stoma creation and management is also teamwork and we need to educate our entire team right from residents and interns to our nursing team as well as the stoma appliances executives and last but not least, our patients who take care of their stomas.
We hope that this series helps everyone in their day to day practice as well as in exams as well as for the patients who manage stomas in their life.
