This innovative book will provide the nurse, working within a
general or specialist surgical unit, with the information required
to care for a patient who has undergone surgery resulting in the
formation of an ileal anal pouch, Koch pouch, Colo-anal pouch or
continent urinary diversions. These techniques have been with us
for more than twenty years but have in the main only been performed
within specialist centres.
More recently however they have become widely used, as more
colorectal and urology surgeons acquire the skills to perform the
procedure. In response to this, the nurse needs to acquire the
skills to care for these patients pre-operatively, post-operatively
and through their rehabilitation. Julia Williams has drawn together
the work of acknowledged experts in this field, both nursing and
medical, to produce a book that will be essential reading for all
those who practice in this fast-developing specialty.
