title: Office management of urinary stomas.
abstract: The postoperative care of stoma patients is truly life long. With the excellent stoma equipment available, no patient should be a "stoma cripple." New advances in continent reservoirs will improve patient acceptance and lessen the fear associated with stomas. Finally, close follow-up by both the enterostomal therapy nurse and the surgeon is essential for the complete care of the stoma patient.
