Ostomy nursing is a subset of nurses who are more broadly trained in the field of wound, ostomy, and continence (WOC) care. Patients with ailments of the skin, urinary, and digestive systems are treated by these nurses. Helping with the management of ostomies, wounds, stomas, and incontinence is a part of the job.
Ileostomy, colostomy, and continent ileostomy are the three most popular ostomy surgery procedures for the bowel. Another form of intestinal surgery that frequently necessitates a transient ileostomy is ileoanal pouch surgery.
The goal of Ostomy Care is to protect the skin, promote patient acceptance, and avoid issues associated to the stoma. The development and maintenance of colostomies are covered in this exercise, which also emphasises the need of the interprofessional team in diagnosing and treating patients with this problem.
