Pre-Surgical Education & Stoma Site Marking

Feel prepared with the knowledge you need before undergoing surgery for a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. Learn about ostomy care, supplies you may need, and what insurance companies usually cover. Your surgeon has the definitive decision when it comes to the location of your stoma during surgery depending on your anatomy. Marking a site for your future stoma utilizing standard guidelines will give you the opportunity to choose the best location and assist your surgeon in knowing your site preference in order to possibly better accommodate you.
