Stoma surgery is the opening of the abdomen surface through a surgical procedure. The surgery aims to alter urine and feces flow, and it is commonly known as stoma output. Its appearance is a small spout, and there is no pain because it does not have any nerve endings. When the color is deep red like the inside of a healthy mouth, then it is an indication that the stoma is healthy.
Retracted Stoma
The stoma should stick out of the abdomen; it will ensure that the stoma output can quickly enter the pouch. Sometimes it is retracted or recessed, can be flushed against the skin, or become shorter than expected. It can be a threat since the stoma opening does not reach the ostomy pouch. The cause is the skin that covers the stoma area or a wafer between, which cause skin damage or leakage.
Convex Wafer
The convex wafer curves inwards to the stoma. It ends up pushing down the skin surrounding the areas hence the stoma sticks out. It is the best way out since the stoma will be fit and can direct all the stool or urine into the pouch. It will not be under the skin or act as a skin barrier. When the stoma is on the skin level, it will flush, but when it is below the skin level, it will retract or recess. The repercussion is uneven or sunken skin surrounding the area.
The system will help to fix the problem since it can be in one piece or two-piece. It is closed or drainable; a Coloplast will offer a light or deep convex as a combination of the two-piece system. In case of clarification on ostomy supplies, you can reach out to online medical supply companies.
They are experts and will help with how to differentiate between the ostomy pouch systems. They will help when deciding if a convex wafer works for you. The best personnel will be your nurse of a medical care provider, the reason being they have your medical history.
