The problems that a patient experiences after the creation of a temporary or
permanent stoma can result from many factors, but a carefully constructed stoma
located in an ideal location is typically associated with appropriate function
and an acceptable quality of life. The construction of the stoma can be
confounded by many concomitant conditions that increase the distance that the
bowel must traverse or shorten the bowel's capacity to reach. Stomas can be
further troubled by a variety of problems that potentially arise early in the
recovery period or months later. Surgeons must be familiar with these obstacles
and complications to avoid their occurrence and minimize their impact.
