This week we spoke to Marita Kametas, MSN, APN, FNP-BC, CMSRN, COCN! Marita is an Advanced Practice Provider Leader, IBD APN, and Ostomy Specialist in the IBD Center at the University of Chicago. We talked to her about all things ostomy! We discussed how providers can speak to patients about all of their treatment options including surgery and ostomies and how that language can really help to make patients feel more comfortable and in control. We talked about how she helps patients prepare for surgery and to deal with ostomies after surgery. We discussed the research she's doing into new ostomy technology and what she'd love to see advance in this area. We also talked about pregnancies with ostomies, complications one can have with an ostomy and so much more. It was super interesting and I think you'll learn just as much as we did.
