Stoma Scope Procedure and Adhesive Removal Tips?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about the stoma scope procedure and adhesive removal tips for individuals with an ileostomy. The original poster is seeking advice on who performs the stoma scope procedure and how to effectively remove adhesive from the skin around the stoma after removing the bag.

Advice and Insights:
- The stoma scope procedure can be performed by either a surgeon or a gastroenterologist, and it is not considered a surgical procedure.
- Various adhesive removal products and techniques were suggested, including using spray-on removers like WAi, trying different ostomy pouch brands, using a blow dryer to cool and remove adhesive, and using skin barrier wipes to remove excess glue.
- Some individuals recommended specific ostomy products such as Eakin Cohesive Seal, Adapt barrier ring, and Dansac ileostomy pouch for better adhesion and easier removal.
- It was suggested to warm up Eakins with a blow-dryer before application and to avoid using skin prep to prevent skin breakdown and improve the seal of the wafer.
- Several individuals shared their experiences of having scopes done through the stoma, emphasizing that it is not much different from regular procedures and can be performed by either a surgeon or a gastroenterologist.
- One user shared their experience with a continent ileostomy and having scopes done by a GI physician with a child-size scope, highlighting that it was undramatic and did not require a tranquilizer.

Note: The original poster expressed significant distress and health concerns in their reply, which may require additional support and intervention beyond the scope of the forum discussion.
