Book Chapter Description

Intestinal stoma (from the Greek language στομα = mouth) formation (ostomy surgery) is a surgical procedure intended to divert the intestinal content outside the body through the abdomen. Due to its profound impact on the patients’ emotional status and on their quality of life, a detailed preoperative counselling is mandatory, while the adhesion to strict technical rules is fundamental to prevent the frequent stoma complications.
