Abstract:
The author relates the problems of colostomy patient during the rehabilitation, intestinal control, adequate equipment and skin care. She refers to the control of intestinal habit with colostomy irrigation and relates comparative studies that demonstrated the efficiency and superiority of this method in relation to natural evacuation. She proposes an experimental sistematized study with adaptable and cheap equipment which will not interfere in the therapeutic effect of colostomy and will be used in hospital, ambulatory and at home. The data of this study is being collected in the Proctology Ambulatorial Service of a General Hospital.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
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:

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
