What  Is Ostomy Management?

Ostomy Management involves specialized care and monitoring of a stoma and surrounding skin. Our team helps patients learn proper pouching techniques, maintain skin integrity, and manage any issues that may arise, such as leaks, irritation, or infections.

What to Expect from Ostomy Management

During an ostomy management visit, clinicians will assess the stoma, skin, and current ostomy appliances. Patients receive hands-on training for pouch changes, cleaning, and skin protection. Education on diet, activity, and lifestyle adjustments is also provided for long-term success and confidence.
