Introduction
An Ostomy is considered as an artificial opening in specified
organs of the body which is usually created during an operation
(Krouse et al., 2016).
It is usually referred to the change in the way of exit of urination or
passage of stool from the body as a result of surgical procedure.
Ostomy surgery often includes the procedures for the exit of body
wastes which surgically creates stoma which has been on the
abdomen through a prosthetic known as stoma bag.
