Ostomy Pouch
Ileostomy - Complications
An ileostomy is the result of a surgery in which the lower part of the small intestines (the ileum) is brought through the abdomen. An opening is made in the abdominal wall and a stoma is formed. The stoma is usually found on the lower right side of the abdomen. Stool is then drained from the ileum to the outside of the body into an appliance or pouch. After surgery the stool will have a soft and sometimes liquid consistency. An appliance is flat in appearance and attaches to the skin with adhesive to secure the pouch to the skin.

Things to Know When Problems Occur
- Stoma Size- Knowing the size of the stoma will assist in finding the right size appliance for an ileostomy. Most ostomy supply companies will provide a chart with pre-cut holes. By placing the chart over the stoma, the size can be quickly determined.
- Protruding or Recessed- If the stoma is protruding, the patient will have less trouble with leakage and longer wear times. With a recessed stoma, patients will have a hard time without the correct appliance. A recessed stoma will seem to be level with the skin or sinking into the skin. The proper appliance in this case is one in which the barrier is convex in shape. The convex shape will help to protrude the stoma decreasing the chances of leakage.
- Ostomy Belt- When leakage is a problem the use of an ostomy belt may help greatly. An ostomy belt is an adjustable belt that attaches to each side of the appliance and wraps around the patient. This will help put pressure on the appliance when the adhesive is not enough.
- High Stool Output- High output can cause some very serious problems. Not only can high output lead to more frequent leaks and skin irritations but individuals with higher output ileostomies become dehydrated very fast. Doctors may prescribe an anti-diarrhea medication such as lopermide or a combination of lopermide and a mild narcotic pain killer such as codeine. The codeine is not being used for its pain killing properties but instead is being used for its tendency to create solid stool and slow down bowel movements. Individuals with high output ileostomies should make sure their doctors are aware of the high level of stool output.

What is the stage now with colon cancer IF there is blood in the ostomy pouch?
woman....92..colon cancer...no chemo, no radiation... now she is listless, not eating, swollen stomach and blood seen in the pouch. its been 5 months since dr said to let nature takes its course. tia
There can be many reasons for the blood in the ostomy, but at 92 yrs old, what are you going to do about it except keep her comfortable and soon her journey will be over.
It would be cruel to do anything other than just keep her comfortable.
