Can a patient with a colostomy have continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis?
Yes, a patient with a colostomy can have continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), but careful consideration is needed. The presence of a colostomy may complicate the dialysis process due to potential challenges with fluid management and infection risk. It is essential for healthcare providers to assess the patient's overall health, the function of their colostomy, and any potential complications before initiating CAPD. Collaboration between nephrologists and surgeons is crucial to ensure the patient's safety and effectiveness of the dialysis treatment.
What happens when you remove colostomy bag?
When a colostomy bag is removed, the stoma (the opening created during colostomy surgery) is exposed, and any stool or gas that would normally exit through the bag will now be released directly from the stoma. This can lead to potential leakage or skin irritation if not managed properly. It is essential to clean the area and apply a new bag promptly to prevent complications. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on managing a stoma.

It often requires medical intervention, which may include manual reduction or surgical correction, depending on the severity of the prolapse.
