  • Surgical Patient Care

Background:

  • The first organized ostomy support group originated at The Mount Sinai Hospital in 1950.
  • This pioneering group offered psychological reassurance and educational guidance to ostomy patients and surgeons.
  • Subsequent groups adopted similar models, expanding the reach of ostomy support.

Observation:

  • A dedicated clinic for ileostomy and colostomy patients was established at The Mount Sinai Hospital, marking another first in specialized care.
  • The need for broader reach led to conventions and the eventual formation of the United Ostomy Association.
  • Enterostomal therapists emerged, further enhancing the educational and practical support for ostomy patients.

Findings:

  • Ostomy support groups provide crucial psychological and educational benefits, addressing patient needs before and after surgery.
