Abstract
Stomas provide fecal diversion in emergent and elective settings. Preoperative planning and counseling are extremely important to the creation of an acceptable and functional ostomy for the surgeon and patient. Proper site selection will help decrease the incidence of postoperative complications. Ileostomy, colostomy, and cecostomy indications and techniques are discussed.Entities:
