Complications arising from poor stoma siting

Abstract: It is important to correctly position a stoma because a poorly sited stoma can result in management and psychological problems for the patient and increase the potential for pouch leakage. However, a well sited stoma can improve the quality of life for a patient and can therefore help the individual to accept the stoma. In this article, Julie Rust discusses the complications that arise from poorly sited stomas.

“…This result may reflect a greater concern with the stoma than with surgery, that is, the ostomy. Rust (2011) explains that there are people who are more afraid of living with a stoma than the surgery itself. These people's concern seems to gravitate around the stoma and not so much the surgery, which might be due to the fact that the stoma is the visible part of the surgery, the thing that is responsible for life with a bag and the reason for the changes in self-care and, consequently, in their daily lives.…”
