Some considerations must be made regarding the use of traditional techniques in SCI/D people, such as Hartmann's, leaving a large part of the colon and the anatomical position of the stoma itself represent limitations to fecal progression and may cause constipation. A specific approach, tailored on the SCI/D patients' characteristics, such as the one described by our group, should be considered. Even if colostomy has been performed, appropriate therapies and health education on how to manage the stoma are fundamental to prevent complications.
