[Experiences in the management of patients with ileo- and colostomy (author's transl)]

In the presented paper the management of stoma-patients has been discussed. Two topics had to be seen, first the psychological guidance of the patient and his reentry into society and second the management of the stoma itself. Beside of the sometimes unavoidable complications the patients are often molested by preventable inconviences as skin-irritation, soiling, and odors. New progresses have been made by the development of scentless skin pelottes and adhesive folias. With a new adhesive tissue which avoids the contact between the skin and the adhesive folia we can prevent the skin irritations previously nearly unavoidable.
