Abstrakt: Urostomy patients are rare as only about 5% of ostomates have urostomies. This can prove challenging because many healthcare professionals do not have experience caring for these patients and may be unfamiliar with their specific needs. As with other ostomates, urostomy patients require specialist nurses with the expertise to provide long-term support. Care for urostomy patients may be provided by urinary diversion specialists or stoma specialist nursing. Patient-centred pathways are needed to cater for their unique needs and ensure good patient outcomes and quality of life. People with urostomy have very post-operative need needs and inadequate care may result in hospital admissions. They need specialised long-term care. It is also crucial to educate the healthcare professionals responsible for their care.
