Supported by Coloplast Corp.

Ostomy care nurses use multiple clinical parameters and clinical judgement, based on evolving education and experience, to help each patient find the best pouching system to minimize leakage. Ideally, this process is based on clinical practice guidelines; however, when it comes to the use of convexity as a first-line choice there is a lack of guidance in the post-operative period. In this session, you will hear from a panel of experts as they discuss the use of a convex pouching system in the post-operative period – including the immediate (0-8 days), post-operative (9-30 days), and transition (31-180 days) periods - based on their involvement in a recent national consensus.
