Abstract
The common complications of peristomal ischemia, retraction, and stenosis are clinical manifestations of differing degrees of the same pathologic entities of ischemia and tension. Specific technical considerations can and should be made at the time of ostomy creation to reduce their incidence and the often substantial patient morbidity associated with them. Once present, the specific clinical scenario dictates the timing and nature of their surgical correction.
