What is Stoma Placement Guidelines for Children about?

This document discusses ideal sites for creating stomas in infants and older children/adolescents. For infants, the best sites are in the lower right or left quadrants, avoiding areas too close to the rib cage, anterior superior iliac spine, flank, or groin. For older children and adolescents, the best site is the mid rectus abdominis muscle in the right lower quadrant, with the left side as an alternative, avoiding areas marked with an "X". Laparoscopic procedures can use the same sites.
