Case report demonstrates effective treatment of large peristomal ulcer in a patient, suggesting potential benefits of combined therapy.
INTRODUCTION: Stomal mucocutaneous separation is a frequent complication of colostomy, which may complicate wound care due to contamination from fecal leakage, resulting in delayed wound healing. In addition, systemic factors may further influence postoperative wound healing. We report successful combination treatment, involving full-thickness skin graft transplantation and negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in a patient with a large peristomal ulcer that developed progressively in the postoperative course following complete circumferential mucocutaneous separation and infection, which occurred after neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection.
