What do you advise if i'm having an operation to have a stoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be sure you: have had a pre-op appointment with an ostomy nurse for education and stoma site marking. Bad placement of a stoma can make your life after surgery very troublesome. Request a visit pre-op with an ostomy nurse
