This topic is about exploring surgical options for people with recessed urostomy stomas. A recessed stoma is one that sits below the skin level, which can make it challenging to get a good seal with the baseplate, leading to potential issues with adhesion and skin irritation. The person who started the discussion is seeking advice on whether there is a surgical procedure to help the stoma protrude more and if such a procedure is beneficial.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. There is a surgical procedure known as stoma revision surgery that can help bring a recessed stoma out to skin level or slightly beyond.

2. Many people have shared that surgeons and urologists often offer this option for those with recessed urostomies, and it is generally considered a minor operation.

3. The hospital stay for this procedure is typically short, often just a long weekend, although this can vary depending on the country.

4. It is recommended to consider revision surgery if the recessed stoma is causing ongoing issues with pouching or adhesion, or if there are skin complications. Addressing these problems early can help prevent further skin damage.
