[Evaluation of the quality of the process of stoma demarcation and late complications in ostomized patients].
Following the characterization of adults with an intestinal stoma who were registered in the Program of Education and Support to Stomized Patients, the authors developed a descriptive study in order to evaluate the results of the process of intestinal stoma demarcation as well as to analyze late complications. The sample was formed by 50 subjects, 76% of whom had colostomies and 34% had ileostomies. Regarding the stoma location, 12% did not demonstrate the scientific specifications indicated for the distance from the waist line, 2% for the iliac crest and 2% for the surgery scar. Late complications appeared in 44% of the cases, such as: 28% of peristomal hernias, 16% of stoma prolapses and 4% of skin hyperemias.
