StoCare’s urostomy patient information booklet has been written to help patients understand urostomy surgery and living with a urostomy. It has 30 pages of information and helpful additional resources to empower stoma patients to get back to life as normal following surgery. There is advice for before and after stoma surgery, common urostomy problems and how to prevent them, and tips for managing life with a urostomy. There is also a handy blank section for your personal notes about your stoma, surgery, contact details for your medical team and the stoma products you use.
This is an ideal urostomy resource for stoma specialist nurses to give to their patients or their families, before or after surgery. It will help patients to understand what surgery they are getting and why and what to expect in their recovery and beyond. There is also a helpful glossary to help them in navigating new terminology.
