- Updates on surgical procedures, including alternative procedures such as J-pouches and neobladders
- What''s new in ostomy care and living with an ostomy, from pouches to eating well to travel, from sex to exercise to insurance, and plenty more
- Changes in the organizations that support people with ostomies
- Current resources, with website addresses
Rave Reviews
“It combines in a most admirable way, factual information with sensitivity…For anyone about to undergo ostomy surgery or in the immediate post-operative period and for their families, this book should be compulsory reading…For those with professional involvement in the care of ostomates, this book will have equal appeal…I recommend it unreservedly…”
