The aims and objectives of the study are to study the various complications occurred after the construction of ileostomy and to study the ways in which these complications can be minimized and managed in a better way. Stoma education before the procedure will help to prevent complications due to stoma. Providing patients with literature on their disease and the proposed surgery is often helpful. Apreoperative visit with the stoma therapist is essential. A good operative technique and proper site selection avoid complications to the best extent. The complications were better managed with proper preoperative planning with effective stoma care in postoperative period.
