The most common type of stoma made was End colostomy 121 (79.60%) followed by loop colostomy 8 (5.26%), loop ileostomy 24 (15.78%) and end ileostomy 7 (4.60%). Main indication for a stoma formation was colorectal cancers 62(40.78%), followed by colon cancer 30 (19.73%), and intestinal obstruction24 (15.78%).Thirty five patients (25%) had stoma complications. Postoperative at ward review, the most common complication in all stoma was Skin irritation which was seen in 14 (9.21%) patients.
