title: Common problems following stoma surgery.
abstract: Although counselling and preoperative siting of the stoma help to eliminate problems following stomal surgery, certain problems may still arise, often when the patient has returned home. Early recognition of these problems and intervention can help to maintain a good quality of life for patients and prevent the condition worsening.
