As soon as the patient leaves the operating theatre, in the recovery room, then in the surgical clinical unit, nurses carry out stoma care and monitor the possible occurrence of complications. Stoma therapists educate patients in caring for the stoma themselves, advise them in the choice of equipment and support them as they regain autonomy.
