The process of opening a part of the digestive system out is called stoma. It can also be applied to the upper right or lower region of the abdomen, depending on the fact that it is mostly applied to the upper part of the large intestine. In this case, the wastes remaining in the digestion process are expelled from the stoma in the abdominal skin. Food residues are collected with a bag placed in place of the stoma.

Home stoma care service is the provision of stoma care and replacement of the bags used in the stoma at certain intervals by specialist nurses.

Stoma (Colostomy / Urostomy / Ileostomy) Care and Bag Change at Home is very important. If the bag is leaking or loose, it may be necessary to change the bag.

Home Stoma Care and Bag Change is a service provided by our nurses in the patient's own comfort area with the following steps.

Hygiene rules are provided in the environment where the bag will be changed.
The patient is given a suitable position.
After wearing sterile gloves, the bag and adapter in the stoma are removed.
The periphery of the stoma is carefully wiped with saline from the contaminated area to the clean area. When the cleaning process is finished, the area around the stoma is completely dried.
The diameter of the stoma (mm) is measured with the stomatal ruler; The bag is placed with a gap of 2 mm between the tip of the bag and the stoma.
The appropriate adapter is cut according to the diameter of the stoma, the paper on the sticky part of the cut adapter is removed and a paste (cream) is applied to the inside. The paste is the barrier between the stoma and the bag, preventing leakage and protecting the skin around the stoma from feces.
Finally; The hole in the middle of the adapter is firmly adhered to the skin, including the stoma.
