Introduction: Intestinal stoma is an opening for fecal diversion. The aim of this research is to determine various indications, problems, and care strategies for intestinal stomas.Methodology: Hospital based prospective observational study. Carried out in the department of General Surgery, GGH, Vijayawada, during the period June 2022 to June 2024.A total of 50 patients were considered for this study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Before conducting this study the institutional ethics clearance and the patient consent was taken.Results: The groups with the highest number of patients were 26-35 and 46-55 (n = 12). It demonstrates a highly significant correlation (p <0.01) between the patient's age and the stoma's construction. The majority of patients in this age range-26 to 55-probably have loop ileostomies. Loop ileostomy accounted for 30% of ileostomy cases, with end ileostomy accounting for 10% of cases. The next most frequently created stoma was colostomy (9%). The most frequent type of colostomy was loop transverse colostomy (3%), which was followed by loop sigmoid colostomy (3%).42 patients out of a 50 experienced issues. Skin excoriations (24.2%) were the mostfrequent consequence seen during stoma creation, followed by laparotomy wound infection (4.1%).Conclusion: Stoma creation is more common among adults and older adults, and it is typically performed as an emergency rather than an elective treatment. Usually carried out for individuals with trauma or cancer as a diversion from blockage or perforation. That is associated with a significant risk of peristomal complications. The recovery was more effective with appropriate preoperative planning and stoma care.
