Abstract:
Urostomy patients are rare as only about 5% of ostomates have urostomies. This can prove challenging because many healthcare professionals do not have experience caring for these patients and may be unfamiliar with their specific needs. As with other ostomates, urostomy patients require specialist nurses with the expertise to provide long-term support. Care for urostomy patients may be provided by urinary diversion specialists or stoma specialist nursing. Patient-centred pathways are needed to cater for their unique needs and ensure good patient outcomes and quality of life. People with urostomy have very post-operative need needs and inadequate care may result in hospital admissions. They need specialised long-term care. It is also crucial to educate the healthcare professionals responsible for their care.

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.
