  • All About Continent Stomas

    All About Continent Stomas
    2019/11/01
    Did you know that not all stomas require a pouching system? The term "continent" stoma is a type of bladder or bowel diversion that utilizes surgically created internal reservoirs that can be emptied several times a day. These stoma's still require proper ostomy nurse care and education, but are an innovative way for individuals to retain their independence, and continence, instead of having an incontinent stoma, like a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. This episode highlights the main types of continent stomas- the ACE, MACE, K-pouch, Mitrofanoff, Monti, and Indiana pouch.
