Abstract
This article explores the management of patients with high-output stomas fashioned under acute surgical conditions where management may be difficult owing to the presence of a large laparostomy wound. Available products that meet the technical demands required to manage these patients, achieve optimal wound healing, manage high-output stoma and encourage patient independence are considered. A number of strategies to meet the physical and nutritional requirements of these patients are discussed along with the importance of the multidisciplinary team working together to provide holistic care.
