| Summary: | Our objective is to carried out a descriptive study about medical-surgical complications and alterations about quality of life in stoma patients secondary to bladder tumour.
The series are composed of 67 patients. The mean age was 70.3 years. We analyse the following variable: early and late medical-surgical complications, the body mass index (BMI) change and the alteration of quality of life.
The most frequent early complication is the ischemic necrosis (7%) without posterior repercussion. The late complications in frequency order are: peristomal dermatitis (18%), plane stoma (12%), peristomal hernia (12%), stenosis (9%) and granuloma (6%). The BMI changes don't conditionate a increase in the complications. The psychological adaptation is good in 92%, although the majority affirm a little changes in life-style, but they don't have a repercussion on quality of life.
In this series we estimate a low incidence of complications. The preoperative counsel and the posterior following by the stoma care nurse-surgeon team, play a fundamental role on psychological adaptation after surgery. |
