“Stoma siting is underrated”

Why ?

• Emergency surgery

• No trainned staff

What is Stoma siting

“Marking the site of a

stoma preoperativey

allows the abdoment to

be assessed in a lying,

siting and standing

position”

Points to be considered

Position isssues• On wheelchairs, walker, bed confined

Physical consideration

• Big breast/ abdomen, abdominal fold, scars, waist line, iliac crest, rectus muscle, other stomas etc

Patient consideration• Age, occupation, diagnosis

Others• Type of ostomy or diversion

What we can do?

• Close discussion:Round table discuss with them

• Open discussion-Internal Case presentation-Ostomate gathering (invite the surgeon)-Oral/ poster presentation in their congress/ conference/ scientific meeting.

• Train the nurses

Early Education

• During 2015 - 2016, there were 18 patients with newstoma. Eight of them underwent elective surgery inSiloam Hospitals Surabaya. Supported by two digestivesurgeons in the hospital, 75% of patients underwent toelective surgery, had a pre operative counseling andstoma siting from ET nurses. Counceling was given inout patient department and in patient department.Three of them need an ostomate attendance to give apshicological support. Stoma siting was done a daybefore surgery.

• Five of six patients who experient an ostomymanagement before surgery, including counceling andstoma siting, is more willing to get involved in theirown ostomy care. And all of them use simple ostomypouch (one piece drainable pouch) that was resulting ina cheaper cost (40-70 ribu/ piece), need 5-7 bags/month

Key messages

• It takes 40 – 2 hours to create a stoma.

• It takes 7 – 14 days to stayin the hospitals for recovery

• But It takes forever for patient to take care of their ostomy.
