Before surgery
The idea of a possible stoma may seem daunting, but you can rest assured that you will be cared for by competent professionals. We are here to help you prepare at all levels, both physically and psychologically. The need for an ostomy indicates that you are suffering from symptoms related to a dysfunction in your digestive system (intestines) or urinary system (kidneys, bladder). Having an ostomy installed brings significant changes to your life. As with any surgical procedure, it can cause anxiety, both for you and your loved ones. To better understand what it means to have an ostomy, it is important to understand the procedure and prepare a list of questions to ask your medical team before the procedure.
What is a stoma?
There are three types of ostomies
- Digestive ostomies, also known as intestinal ostomies, include colostomies (formed from the colon) and ileostomies (formed from the small intestine).
- Urinary stomas, called urostomies, involve the diversion of the urinary tract toward the abdominal wall.
