Abstract
Stoma surgery is very often a life−saving procedure that allows the recipient to experience greatly improved quality of life and there are many specific issues that the recipient learns to deal with, such as the management and care of a stoma. However, to date, there seems to be little research in the wider quality of life issues, particularly low back pain. This is somewhat surprising, as it is well known (from the work of Hodges, Lee, McGill, O′Sullivan and others), that abdominal muscles play a vital role in maintaining a healthy and strong back (Hodges, 1999), and these are the very muscles that are (arguably) most affected by the stoma surgery.
