Abstract

Stoma complications are common. Most do not require reoperation, but when surgery is indicated, numerous options are available. Complications can arise early or late, and they can vary from benign to life-threatening. Meticulous preoperative planning is crucial in preventing stoma complications. Good communication with the patient is important in the decision-making process.

Keywords: Stoma; complications; reoperation.
