Program Overview:
The physiological aspect of stomal complications is a significant problem for individuals with an ostomy and the person providing their ostomy care. Some of these complications occur early or late following the surgical creation of an ostomy. This session will focus on some of the more common stomal complications, factors that may contribute to their occurrence, how they may present themselves and their assessment. The session will also address management strategies of these stomal complications.
