Abstract
Intestinal stoma formation continues to be an essential tool in the surgical armamentarium used in a variety of conditions for temporary or permanent fecal diversion. Despite the best efforts of surgeons and wound, ostomy, and continence nurses, patients continue to suffer high rates of peristomal skin complications with associated quality of life and financial morbidity. A proactive approach to maintain peristomal skin health coupled with early recognition and treatment of skin complications is essential to optimize patient outcomes.
