title: [Special treatment measures in patients with a stoma].
abstract: Psychological, social and technical problems in the management of patients with stomata are discussed. The success of treatment depends on the skill of the doctors and nurses to handle personal problems of the patient, to help him to find his way into the community, to his work, to his hobbies. Problems such as love, sexual life and death have also to be taken into consideration. Each such patient should get detailed and written information in order to have enough time to prepare himself for his new situation. Doctors and nurses must offer time for sufficient discussions with the patient.
