Having a stoma is a life-changing event, and it can be an overwhelming and difficult experience. It may be very challenging managing stoma care in certain occasions and, without the proper support, this could affect patient's quality of life negatively. This is especially important when patients are faced with complex stomas, which may make stoma care problematic. Therefore, these patients require extensive postoperative support from skilled stoma nurses as their experience, continuous support, and knowledge of different products, including new innovative products, is essential in supporting stoma patients. This article explores the successful use of an innovative stoma output absorbent cartridge to improve patients' quality of life, restore confidence, reduce anxiety, empower them to self-care and effectively manage overactive stomas during appliance change, as well as potentially avoiding delays in hospital discharge, reducing waste of stoma products, and facilitating stoma complication management procedures and training in new stoma patients.

Objective: To analyze the risk factors for peristomal skin complications (PSCs) in patients with colorectal cancer and an ostomy, construct a prediction model, and verify its effectiveness.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, researchers recruited 265 patients with an ostomy at the stoma clinic of a tertiary hospital, from May 2022 to August 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: complications group (n = 81) and no complications group (n = 184).

Background: Postoperative enterostomy is increasing in patients with colorectal cancer, but there is a lack of a model that can predict the probability of early complications.
Aim: To explore the factors influencing early postoperative stoma complications in colorectal cancer patients and to construct a nomogram prediction model for predicting the probability of these complications.
Methods: A retrospective study of 462 patients who underwent postoperative ostomy for colorectal cancer in the Gastrointestinal Department of the Anhui Provincial Cancer Hospital.

Background: There is an increased maturation of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis techniques. However, research on its application for small bowel stoma reversal in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is limited. Therefore, in this study, we compared the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic intracorporeal ileostomy reversal (LIIR) and open ileostomy reversal (OIR).

Objective: Treatment with transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis systems (TOPS) for short femoral amputation stumps aims to restore independent walking ability after proximal femoral amputation by direct bone-guided prosthesis anchorage. This cannot be safely achieved with conventional socket prostheses due to the mechanically inadequate socket contact surface.
Indications: Treatment of patients with short transfemoral stumps who cannot be mobilized sufficiently with conventional socket prostheses.

Importance: Patients undergoing unplanned abdominal surgical procedures are at increased risk of surgical site infection (SSI). It is not known if incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) can reduce SSI rates in this setting.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of iNPWT in reducing the rate of SSI in adults undergoing emergency laparotomy with primary skin closure.
