Ostomy Care: What Every Person Should Know

Each year, approximately 100,000 people in the United States undergo ostomy surgery, with nearly 1 million individuals currently living with an ostomy—about 1 in every 500 Americans. With rising rates of early-onset cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, more young patients are undergoing this procedure. Whether temporary or permanent, up to 35% of patients experience complications in the first year. This session will explore how effective ostomy care can improve clinical outcomes and long-term quality of life.
