An ostomy is a special type of surgery. In order to cure the disease and remove the tumor, the surgeon needs to make an opening in the patient’s abdomen to reroute the stool or urine while surgically removing the lesion. According to the location of the stoma, it can be divided into: ileostomy, cecum stoma and colostomy. According to the purpose of the colostomy can be divided into temporary stoma and permanent stoma, etc. In the past, stoma did not leave a good impression on everyone, and it was thought that excrement could not be controlled at will after stoma, which brought a lot of inconvenience to life and social life, and many patients had difficulty in accepting it. However, with the development of nursing technology and surgery, stoma is not so “wretched” anymore. After learning proper care after surgery, there is no odor or inconvenience in life, and even the trouble of going to the toilet is eliminated. Currently, the incidence of rectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease patients is increasing, according to statistics, China’s existing “stoma people” 1 million, with an annual increase of 100,000. This means that more and more families will have to face the choice of whether to accept a stoma or not. We need to correct the “bad impression” of stoma: it is not that we can’t take care of ourselves as we think, but we can return to normal life. When faced with a stoma, it is important to accept life, not to be afraid or desperate, but to have a correct attitude and face life positively. About stoma, the most important thing is that patients should have confidence in themselves, not to see themselves as patients after surgery, but to be ready to return to normal life, the same life, the same exercise, the same social life, the following two pictures, is a good example. Stoma care tips Steps to replace the stoma bag: remove the old bag → clean the stoma and surrounding skin → observe → dry the skin around the stoma → sprinkle a small amount of skin care powder → measure the size of the stoma → cut a suitable stoma bag → add anti-leakage cream → stick it on and make it firm. The stoma base plate needs to be cut to the right size 1. It is important to leave just the right hole to accommodate the stoma. If the hole is too large, the skin around the stoma where the excrement touches will easily break and ulcerate; if it is cut too small, the stoma will bleed or granulation tissue will grow due to friction. 2, pay attention to the bottom plate paste should be flat and tight, do not leave wrinkles, so as to avoid excrement from the folding mouth out to stimulate the skin. 3.When the skin around the stoma is uneven, cut a small piece of lard protection sheet to fill the depression according to the degree of depression, and then paste the stoma base plate. 4.When the skin around the stoma is inflamed, the exudate may affect the adhesion of the stoma plate. If there is little skin exudate, clean the stoma and the surrounding skin with warm water, apply skin protection powder, then gently wipe it off, and then paste the stoma base plate with lard. 5.If there is much skin exudate, use hydrophilic dressing or seaweed dressing to spread on the wound to absorb the exudate, and then paste the stoma base plate or stoma bag.
