Ostomy Simulation for Patient Education Prior to Urologic Bowel Diversion Surgeries

Recruiting

This research is being to see if a new 3D simulation model is helpful in teaching patients about care of their stomas after surgery. We expect that people will be in this research study for 3-6 months depending on the timing of surgery and postoperative visits. The number of preoperative and postoperative visits, physician exams, scans, X-rays, and laboratory tests for preparation for surgery or after the surgery does not change because of this study.

I'm interested
