[Relevance of water-related rehabilitation measures for stoma patients : Results of a pilot project and review of the literature].

Background: The creation of a skin stoma after exenterative pelvic surgery drastically affects the physical health of patients. Being concerned with aesthetic and functional aspects, patients tend to not participate in offers for water-related rehabilitation, especially water gymnastics and swimming.

Objective: The aim of the pilot project "UROAquaFIT" was to evaluate the feasibility of water-related rehabilitation for patients after cystectomy with incontinent urinary diversion.
