Nursing issues in the management of urinary diversions in women.
Cancer and urinary diversion via orthotopic or cutaneous stomas in women result in significant physiological and psychosocial issues. Patient counseling, education, and follow-up care are best achieved by the intervention of a multidisciplinary health care team. Urologic and enterostomal therapy nursing support in these endeavors can contribute to facilitating a positive outcome.
