A member asked:
Can anyone tell me is it painful to have an operation for a stoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be: No operation on ones abdomen is painless, however, pain is subjective from one patient to the next. The type of surgery, the skill of your surgeon, and the type of post operative pain management provided by your surgeon can make most surgeries tolerable to most people.
