Background: The study introduces the application of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in pediatric stoma closure, emphasizing the importance of enhancing aesthetics and minimizing surgical site infections (SSI).
Case Presentation: The case series involves four infants undergoing non-umbilical stoma closure with a combination of purse-string closure (PSC) and NPWT, focusing on aesthetic outcomes and infection prevention. NPWT was initiated immediately after surgery, and patients were monitored every 3-4 days.
Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG), a variant of pyoderma gangrenosum, occurs adjacent to intestinal or urinary stomas and are typically seen in patients with active inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The present study evaluated 14 cases of PPG among 537 patients that had undergone ostomy surgery at Asahikawa Medical University Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021. The incidence of PPG among ostomy cases was calculated as 1.

- An 82-year-old woman with chronic limb-threatening ischemia developed bilateral heel ulcers that were challenging to treat.
- After undergoing a bypass surgery on her right leg, she faced complications like osteomyelitis, which made healing difficult.
- The patient eventually required a partial calcanectomy for both heels, leading to successful healing after the procedures.
