eHealth Promoting Stoma Self-care for People With an Elimination Ostomy: Focus Group Study

An elimination ostomy is a surgically created opening in the abdominal wall that results in the diversion of feces or urine to the exterior; it may be permanent or temporary [1].

An Ostomy Self-management Telehealth Intervention for Cancer Survivors: Technology-Related Findings From a Randomized Controlled Trial

An intestinal stoma, or ostomy, is a surgically created opening in the abdomen that provides an alternate pathway for stool or urine to exit the body.
