title: Nursing issues in the management of urinary diversions in women.
abstract: 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.
