    The document discusses siting considerations for ileostomies, including locating the stoma away from bony prominences and skin creases and in an easily visible area. A stomatherapist can help identify appropriate stoma sites before surgery. When examining a stoma, a healthcare professional should describe the location, whether it is flush or has a spout, if it is working and the content of any bag, and note any complications.
