Intestinal stomas: indications, management, and complications

Sean T Martin et al. Adv Surg. 2012.

Abstract

The ability to appropriately construct and care for an ostomy is crucial to good colorectal surgical practice. Enterostomal therapy is critical to the successful management of ostomies and their complications. Although associated with morbidity, a well-constructed ostomy can provide our patients with a good, durable QoL.
