A stoma is the result of an operation to remove disease such as
cancer, Crohn's disease or diverticulitis - or from a bowel
obstruction or injury to the digestive or urinary system. It is an
artificial opening that allows faeces or urine either from the
intestine or from the urinary tract to pass. There are three main
types of stoma related to the digestive and urinary system - these
are: colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy (Coloplast.co.uk). This book
is a guide to stoma surgery and care for GI surgeons, from basic
information to the latest advances in the field. Beginning with an
overview of the digestive system, the next chapters explain the
physiology and different types of stoma, including both permanent
and temporary. The following chapters cover stoma surgery,
post-surgical maintenance and possible complications. Other topics
include sustenance with stoma, stoma care for different patient
groups such as children or those with disabilities, the role of the
stoma nurse and more. The book concludes with a section of
frequently asked questions with detailed answers. Key points
