My surgeon recently gave me a new stoma. However, it's close to my incision site and my stoma nurse is concerned. At this point, I can't find a perfect seal on the incision side of the flange. Does anyone have any suggestions? what can be done?

thanks

chris had this problem, he would turn the flange and cut the hole off center to move it the other way, use a smaller diameter flange, he used 1 1/4, he's thin and his stoma was small. have convatec send a few samples in different diameters, 1 1/2. you are probably using 1 3/4.
