A stoma is a surgically
created opening onto the surface of the abdomen that allows faces or urine to drain into a bag or other ostomy appliance. Stomas are formed
when patients develop inflammatory bowel disease, bowel or rectal
cancer, bowel obstruction or perforation. They are sometimes used in the
management of incontinence.
Christian Medical College
and Hospital has set up a special clinic called Stoma Clinic which
exclusively takes care of patients with stomas irrespective of whether
the surgery is done in CMC or elsewhere.
A specialist nurse from
the Christian Medical College is working full time in this specialty
and this clinic offers care and support for people who need assistance
with their stoma. Another nurse is being trained for the same. The stoma
clinic is affiliated to Indian Stoma Association and provides service to
people from all over North India.
