What is Colorectal Cancer and Colostomy Care about?
Colon cancer begins in the inner wall of the colon or rectum and can involve the anal canal. Common assessment findings include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, anemia, weight loss, and fatigue. Surgeries for colon cancer include segmental resection, abdominoperineal resection with colostomy, and hemicolectomies. Post-operative nursing care focuses on monitoring for complications, assessing bowel function, and teaching proper colostomy care including skin care, pouch maintenance, and diet.
