What if it has been removed? As per the International Wound Journal The number of individuals with an ostomy is on the rise worldwide. Approximately 1 million people in the United States have urinary or faecal diversions, and 700 000 people in Europe live with an ostomy. In Spain, there are approximately 70 000 people living with an ostomy and 16 000 new ostomies are estimated to be performed each year. Of these, 60% are temporary and 40% permanent, with colostomy being the most frequent type of ostomy (55.1%), followed by ileostomy (35.2%). Some people may not have an opinion. 😪
