The chemist and druggist [electronic resource] . A mark is made directly onto thepatients abdomen to show the optimum positionof the stoma for that individual, taking thepatients eyesight, mobility, dexterity and generalabilities to manage the stoma long term intoconsideration. On immediate post-operative examination, thehealthy stoma appears red in colour and is warmand moist to touch. The stoma protrudes from theabdomen, although the length varies dependingon the stoma type. This is to minimise skinexcoriation of the immediate peristomal skin. Atypical colostomy should protrude no further than10mm, whereas an ileostomy and urostomyshould protrude to at least 50mm. All stomas areusually either round or slightly oval in shape andthe circumference will also vary, averagingbetween 20 and The type of stoma will determine the nature ofthe effluent; a colostomist will pass a firm pellet-like faecal stool as the bowel has been divertedfrom the large colon. Generally brown in colour,the faeces have an odour and will eliminate from. The site of the stoma is chosen carefully, taking into account the patients eyesight, mobility, dexterity andgeneral ability to manage the stoma care in the long term the stoma on average once a day. An ileostomistwill pass a porridge-like faecal stool as the bowelhas been diverted from the small intestine whereless absorption has taken place. Generally lighttan in colour, the effluent is odourless and willeliminate from the stoma once food is consumedand peristalsis has been triggered. In a urostomy, a small segment of bowel isused to support the ureters, allowing urine to flowfreely. The urine is yellow, straw-like in colour andcontains mucosal debris from the bowel. Onaverage, a teaspoon of urine oozes from thestoma every Practical elements of stoma care, such aschanging the appliance, will be taught by thestoma care nurse specialist and reinforced by thenursing staff on the ward.
