The objectives of this systematic review were to assess the incidence of complications of the stoma and peristomal skin, synthesize possible reasons for variability in results, and make recommendations for future research. Twenty-one studies published in English between January 1990 and August 2007, with a prospective design that reported the number of complications of the stoma or peristomal skin among participants with colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy, were identified. The types of complications most commonly reported were retraction, hernia, prolapse, peristomal skin problems, and necrosis. Incidence rates varied widely among studies, even when the same types of complications were measured. Inadequate reporting of attrition, the number of participants at each phase of analysis, and missing data were common problems. Differences among study durations, the absence of definitions of complications, and failure to describe how complications were evaluated contributed to variability in reported complication rates. More studies are needed that use a prospective design, consistent operational definitions, and valid and reliable measurement methods. These recommendations will help increase the availability of standardized data to make comparisons among studies possible.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is the second most common skin manifestation reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We performed a single-institution, retrospective study to summarize the clinical features and examine effective treatment regimens and outcomes of PG in IBD patients. We identified 45 patients who presented to our institute between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2021 with the following criteria: (1) diagnosed with an active PG (ICD9: 686.

A 61-year-old woman underwent an emergent operation with sigmoid colon cancer resection, colostomy, and ileostomy on colon perforation. The low ileostoma, caused by intra-abdominal bad conditions, had irritated the surrounding skin after surgery, intermittently forcing the patient to fast for a certain period. Six months after the operation, under the judgment that re-ileostomy, essential for hospital discharge, seemed very difficult through another laparotomy, we attempted to make the ileostoma higher not with pulling the ileum from the abdomen but with lowering the surrounding skin using skin flap formation techniques.

Background: Diverting ileostomy is a common procedure in rectal cancer surgery, but it is sometimes associated with a nonnegligible rate of complications. The primary aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and types of stoma-related complications for ileostomy creation after rectal cancer resection. The secondary aims were to report the indications, the technical details, and the efficacy of stoma care provided by ostomy nurses.

People with an outward peristomal body profile can experience difficulties obtaining a secure seal with a flat baseplate to the peristomal skin. Baseplates with a concave contour have been designed to provide a better fit to curved body profiles and reduce the risk of leakage. In this 4-week product evaluation, 110 individuals with an outward peristomal body profile using flat one-piece pouching systems were enrolled to evaluate the impact of a concave one-piece pouching system on wear time, unplanned changes of pouching systems and use of accessories.

Article Synopsis
- Chyme reinfusion therapy (CRT) is a safe technique that enhances nutrition and intestinal health in neonates with stomas, though it’s underused, especially for those with congenital bowel issues or necrotizing enterocolitis.
- A study over ten years at two children's hospitals in New Zealand found that nearly half of the eligible neonates received CRT, leading to improved weight gain, while noting various complications, particularly non-infectious ones.
- Despite the effectiveness of CRT, there's a significant rate of complications (like skin irritation and stoma prolapse), indicating a need for increased awareness and implementation of this therapy in clinical practice for neonates with intestinal failure.
