Background: Peristomal necrosis is a rare but challenging condition requiring multidisciplinary management involving surgical debridement and intensive WOC nurse management.
Case: Mr T was a 56-year-old man who underwent cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy for a high-grade appendiceal neoplasm. As part of the procedure, an Abcarian stoma (end-ileostomy with a distal lumen from the transverse colon brought out flush with skin beside the proximal stoma) was created.
