This patient presented to a local ER on 3/30/25. She had undergone an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) out of state about 2 weeks prior. At presentation to the ER she had large dehiscence of her wound and it was severely infected. She underwent 2 surgical “clean outs” of the wound on 4/1/25 and 4/4/25. After a brief hospital stay, she was referred to Wound Ostomy Care Clinic. Our major obstacle was keeping her Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (wound vac) in place. This along with frequent debridement and other wound care modalities allowed the wound to progress. By 6/1/25 the wound vac was discontinued. After instructing the patient in her wound care, home health was decreased to once a week. By 8/14/25 the wound was closed and she was discharged.

This patient fell on 5/5/25 and had a large laceration on her right knee. She had been to the ER the night of the fall where the wound was stapled and she was placed on oral antibiotics. She had seen her P*P for follow up. We initially saw this patient on 05/14/25 after she was referred to our office for “staple removal”. She presented with a large, dehisced wound with a few staples still intact. The wound had multiple areas of tunneling with the deepest at 7.5 cm. We began by focusing on cleaning this wound which included frequent sharp debridement and irrigating it with antibiotic compound. The patient did have home health services, which helped tremendously. “And by the way, can you take a look at this smaller wound on my lower leg that I have had for 6 months and no one can get it healed”? So, we began treatment for this chronic wound as well. Around 2 weeks later we were able to remove the remaining staples in the large wound. We used some light compression to stop any further opening of the wound. Once both wounds were clean, closing these wounds became our focus. We were able to do this with appropriate dressings and frequent care. Both wounds required cauterization of hyper-granulation tissue on several occasions. By 8/12/2025 both wounds were closed, and the patient was discharged.

Motivational Monday!!! 🏈❤️

This fall The Phoenix did an article about Auburn’s football kicker Alex McPherson! Truly an inspirational story - about a young man when faced with adversity saw the greater purpose. A story that shows that ostomies are in fact for living!

This is a 53 year old patient that was diagnosed with diabetes at 13. She has had chronic leg ulcers since 2021 with previous surgical vein treatments. She had failed conservative treatment by other providers. During our treatment, she had several other medical issues that delayed her progress. After several months of treatment her wounds closed. She was also seen by lymphedema while we managed her wounds. All along her treatment she was instructed in measures to help prohibit similar wounds in the future.

We are truly blessed in being able to walk alongside those in their ostomy journeys and this is one of their stories!

This patient upon presenting to the ER was diagnosed with diverticulitis. As a result they received a temporary ostomy. After arriving to our clinic she received education,lifestyle coaching, and assistance in personalized supplies. She is planned to receive her reversal at the end of the month!

Even in the case where our paths are crossed for a short period of time we are apart of one another’s story of life forever!

Here is the cookies she baked for our clinic as a parting gift! HOW TALENTED IS OUR PATIENT!!!💩🤎

Last week the average age of our four new ostomy patients was 50 years old. All diagnosed with colon cancer and receiving ostomies as a result. Current guidelines recommend getting your first colonoscopy at the age of 45, so don’t wait and get your colonoscopy! 🩺
