Abstrakt: Performing stoma surgery is often complex for the surgeon to undertake especially when the patient has pre-existing complications. Postoperatively, peristomal complications affect the adherence of the collection bag, and impair the self- care and wellbeing of the person with an ostomy, which increases the need for professionals trained in the management of peristomal skin complications. In addition, health professionals need to be able to educate the ostomate in self- care of the stoma or support them in managing peristomal complications. The aim of this case study is to report the management of a complex clinical case of a patient postoperatively following a herniorrhaphy and construction of a colostomy that resulted in surgical dehiscence and ensuing peristomal complications. The case study also highlights the clinical care advocated by the stomal therapist to manage these complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
