Peristomal skin problems are common in ostomy patients and are connected to decreased quality of life and patient independence, as well as increased treatment costs. This study analysed the factors related to peristomal skin changes in order to better define the clinical profile of patients with optimal peristomal skin status. Secondary analysis of data from a nationwide, cross-sectional, retrospective, multicentre study performed in Spain (Uses and Attitudes in Ostomy) (Bueno Cruz et al, 2021) evaluated clinical data, including demographics, preoperative stoma site marking, type of ostomy, device used, frequency of leakage and scores from the Ostomy Skin Tool (OST) and quality of life (QoL) questionnaires. Risk factors for peristomal skin changes were analysed using multivariate analysis, and a predictive nomogram to anticipate optimal peristomal skin status (defined here as discolouration (D), erosion (E), and tissue overgrowth (T) (DET) score of 0) was developed. Some 871 patients with an ostomy using different commercial devices in Spain were evaluated. Multivariate analysis to predict optimal peristomal skin status revealed leakage frequency, patient age, type of ostomy, preoperative siting and type of baseplate used were independent predictors of peristomal skin status. Optimal peristomal skin care should be a treatment goal for nurse specialists in stomal therapy, and its individual influencing variables should be taken into account by nurses specialising in ostomy care.

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.

Cecilia Zamarripa, PhD, RN, CWON, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the performance of pouching systems with respect to leakage and the development of peristomal skin complications (PSCs) in an acute care setting immediately following ostomy creation.
Design: Non-experimental, retrospective cohort study.
Subjects And Setting: The sample comprised 214 patients admitted for stoma-creation surgery at one of the 2 University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian-Shadyside campuses located in the Northeastern United States (Pittsburgh, PA).
