Abstract
Significance: Colorectal cancer is currently ranked third in terms of the global cancer incidence. Enterostomy, a common surgical procedure for colorectal cancer treatment, creates a temporary or permanent stoma in the abdominal wall for waste excretion. Cancer itself and the associated treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, increase the likelihood of various types of peristomal skin damage. Recent Advances: Recent research has focused on developing more targeted treatment approaches for peristomal moisture-associated skin damage (P-MASD). In addition, studies are investigating the potential of novel wound care products and therapies to enhance healing and reduce the risk of complications. There is also growing interest in understanding the different types except P-MASD during chemoradiotherapy. Different types match the varied treatments. Thus, we aimed to comprehensively review the most prevalent types of peristomal skin damage during chemoradiotherapy and their associated risk factors. Critical Issues: The five prevalent types of peristomal skin damage that occur during chemoradiotherapy are peristomal radiodermatitis, P-MASD, peristomal acneiform rash, peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum, and peristomal abscess/infection/fistula. The risk factors vary depending on the type; however, they include the radiation dose, ileostomy surgery, chemoradiotherapy-associated diarrhea, use of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, inflammatory bowel disease, and unclear factors. Future Directions: This review guides the clinical identification of peristomal skin damage during chemoradiotherapy, laying a solid foundation for developing effective strategies to prevent this condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) is an inflammatory skin condition caused by long-term exposure to a moist environment, which can compromise the integrity of the barrier and increase pain. This scoping review aimed to systematically analyze the research status of prevention and care for MASD. METHODS We conducted a scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched for relevant articles until March 2023. RESULTS Based on eligibility criteria, 34 research studies and review articles were included. The prevalence of MASD varies greatly in different medical environments and patient groups. The high-risk factors included prolonged exposure to excessive water, chemical irritation such as urine or feces, mechanical factors such as friction or improper removal of medical adhesives and local bacterial colonization. Prevention measures mainly include avoiding skin exposure to moisture, skin cleansing, moisturizing and the treatment of secondary bacterial infection. CONCLUSION A variety of factors have an impact on MASD. Nurses should select suitable tools to screen high-risk patients and take targeted preventive measures according to the related types of skin injury to reduce the incidence of MASD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in ostomy care, the incidence of stoma and peristomal skin complications including peristomal moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) remains as high as 80% of patients living with ostomies. We evaluated a cyanoacrylate liquid skin protectant (CLSP) for the treatment and healing of peristomal MASD in patients with an ileostomy, ileal conduit, or colostomy. CASES Five patients (24-85 years old) with peristomal MASD related to an ileostomy (n = 2), ileal conduit (n = 2), or colostomy (n = 1) were evaluated in this case study. All were treated with a CLSP in an attempt to reduce peristomal MASD caused by effluent leakage, which resulted in painful denudation of the peristomal skin. All patients received 1 to 2 applications of the CLSP prior to replacement of the pouching system. Prior to CLSP application, patients underwent assessment focusing on the causes of ostomy pouching system undermining and leakage. Interventions to prevent recurrent undermining and leakage, usually focused on modifications of the pouching system, were completed when indicated. CONCLUSIONS For these 5 patients, complete resolution of peristomal MASD was observed at 2 to 8 days following CLSP treatment. More severe peristomal MASD cases required 7 to 8 days for complete resolution while less severe peristomal MASD resolved within 2 to 3 days. Patients showed less frequent pouching system changes, healing of peristomal skin, and reduced peristomal MASD associated with the CLSP treatment and addressing underlying etiology. On a pain scale of 0 to 10, patients reported less pain with an average of more than 7 out of 10 prior to the CLSP treatment and less than 4 out of 10 after treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal wound dehiscence (AWD) is a costly postoperative complication; its management is particularly challenging for WOC nurses when it occurs secondary to an ostomy closure. CASE We present a case of AWD secondary to ileostomy closure in Baby Q, a 9-month 19-day-old female infant. A silver wound contact dressing was used on her dehisced wound followed by negative pressure wound therapy and adhesive tape to pull the wound edge together and promote granulation. We used a combination of enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition, total parenteral nutrition, and total enteral nutrition adjusting the feeding plan stepwise according to her nutritional status. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition and severe peristomal skin complications may contribute to the risk of AWD in infants undergoing reversal of a temporary ostomy. Assessing and treating nutritional status and peristomal skin is imperative before performing ostomy closure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peristomal skin complications (PSCs) are the most common skin problems seen after ostomy surgery. They have a considerable impact on a patient's quality of life and contribute to a higher cost of care. METHODS A systematic review was conducted, querying three databases. The analysis was performed on international studies focused on the clinical-epidemiological burden of PSCs in adult patients with ileostomy/colostomy. RESULTS Overall, 23 studies were considered. The main diseases associated with ostomy surgery were rectal, colon and gynecological cancers, inflammatory bowel diseases, diverticulitis, bowel obstruction and intestinal perforation. Erythema, papules, skin erosions, ulcers and vesicles were the most common PSCs for patients with an ostomy (or stoma). A PSCs incidence ranging from 36.3% to 73.4% was described. Skin complications increased length of stay (LOS) and rates of readmission within 120 days of surgery. CONCLUSIONS PSCs data are still limited. A knowledge of their burden is essential to support health personnel and decision-makers in identifying the most appropriate responses to patients' needs. Proper management of these complications plays a fundamental role in improving the patient's quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach, as well as increased patient education and their empowerment, are priority measures to be implemented to foster a value-based healthcare.

Abstract
Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) occurs when skin is repeatedly exposed to various sources of bodily secretions or effluents, often leading to irritant contact dermatitis, characterized by inflammation with or without denudation of affected skin. In 2020, the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society commissioned an initiative that led to the addition of multiple International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes (ICD-10-CM) for irritant contact dermatitis caused by various forms of MASD for use in the United States. In a recent issue of the Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing, a clinical practice alert identifying the various new codes was published that summarized each of the new codes and provided highlights of the descriptions for each of these codes. This is the second in a series of 2 follow-up articles providing a more detailed description of the MASD conditions to which the newest irritant contact dermatitis ICD-10-CM codes apply. Specifically, this article reviews the clinical manifestations and assessment, pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention, and management of irritant contact dermatitis associated with digestive secretions from a stoma or fistula, and fecal or urinary effluent from an abdominal stoma or enterocutaneous fistula.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite the advances achieved in surgical techniques in recent years, an intestinal stoma is still needed in many patients undergoing colorectal surgery. However, the intestinal stoma may be associated with serious complications and the need for a second surgical procedure. In extreme cases, when it is not possible to access the abdominal cavity, the management of a complicated stoma is challenging. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of a Dacron vascular prosthesis (DVP) in patients with intestinal stoma complications. METHODS In patients with a shallow, superficial stoma or mucocutaneous separation (MCS), we sutured the prosthesis in the intestinal loop (at the edge of an intestinal fistula) to create a device to direct the fecal content to the collection bag. RESULTS We included 9 patients in this series (colorectal cancer, n = 5; Crohn's disease, n = 2; giant abdominal hernia and morbid obesity, n = 2). The results obtained were promising since they showed good evolution in patients with severe intestinal complications and an impossibility of surgical correction of the stoma. Five patients presented complete healing, and two patients presented partial healing. There were two deaths caused by sepsis, which were not related to the surgical procedure. With this technique, there was a reduction in the leakage of intestinal contents into the peritoneal cavity and an increase in the healing of the peristomal dermatitis in most of the patients. The DVP could possibly represent a surgical alternative in selected patients with complicated stomas when surgical correction may not be a suitable option. CONCLUSIONS The authors recommend this technique for selected complex cases of stoma complications after unsuccessful attempts to adapt collecting equipment. The placement of the DVP allowed the peristomal skin to heal and improved the contamination of the peritoneal cavity.
