Considerations when caring for a person with a prolapsed stoma
1Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust.
Abstract:
Stomal prolapse is a complication that can occur with all types of stoma. Not only does a prolapse cause issues with pouch management for the ostomist, but can also lead to many psychological problems. Stoma care nurses are often the first point of contact for ostomists when they prolapse, and are therefore in a position to assess, reassure and educate. However, in order to fully support the ostomist, nurses need to have a thorough understanding of the effect, both physical and psychological, that a prolapse can have on the patient and those closest to them.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
