Abstract
Ongoing partnership between the surgeon, ostomy nurse, and patient beginning before surgery and continuing past surgery increases the likelihood of the patient's independence and confidence in ostomy care and decreases complications. This article provides tips and wish lists created by ostomy nurses to address the importance of preoperative patient education and stoma site marking, ideal stoma characteristics, basic ostomy care, the role of the ostomy nurse in follow-up care, and common ostomy complications.
