Get Care NowWhat is a stoma?
An ostomy is an opening made on the abdomen to bring part of the bowel or urinary system to the surface to create a new exit route for the excretion of stool and gas or urine. This new open end of the bowel or ureter is known as a stoma.
A urine-draining stoma is called a urostomy, and a stoma formed from the bowel is referred to as a colostomy or an ileostomy, depending on which part of the bowel it is connected to.
Why would someone need a stoma?
There are a number of bowel conditions that might mean someone needs a stoma, such as:
- Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, or other serious inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Ischaemic bowel – this is a condition where blood flow to part of the bowel is restricted, causing areas of tissue death.
- Cancer – cancers of the colon or rectum.
- Congenital bowel defects – these are bowel problems that are present from birth; some babies’ digestive systems don’t fully form and need surgery to correct this. They may need a permanent, or a reversible stoma.
How does Homage help with stoma care?
With advanced age and medical conditions such as dementia and Parkinson’s, taking care of individuals with a stoma can be a challenging experience. In reality, caregivers face basic care challenges such as seniors not knowing when to empty the pouch, appliances being ripped off, or the challenge of simply changing stoma bags from time to time due to frailty or tremors.
We also offer long or short-term care solutions to support you throughout the transition period during the recovery period after surgery and beyond. Specialist nursing care for complex stomas and wounds can promote good healing and prevent complications, enabling you or your loved one to continue living life to the fullest.
