How can I identify and manage common complications associated with stomas, such as stoma prolapse or skin irritation?

To identify and manage common complications associated with stomas, such as stoma prolapse and skin irritation, it is important to consult appropriate clinical resources.

While UK clinical guidelines, such as those from NICE, provide extensive guidance on general faecal incontinence ¹, urinary incontinence ²,³, and pelvic organ prolapse in women ², the provided context does not detail specific identification or management strategies for stoma-related prolapse or skin irritation from these guidelines.

However, peer-reviewed medical literature specifically addresses the avoidance and management of stomal complications, which encompasses issues like stoma prolapse and skin irritation (Kwiatt and Kawata, 2013).

This literature serves as a resource for understanding how to identify and manage these specific stoma complications (Kwiatt and Kawata, 2013).

Therefore, for detailed clinical guidance on identifying and managing stoma prolapse and skin irritation, it is recommended to refer to specialized literature and guidelines focused on stoma care (Kwiatt and Kawata, 2013).
