Mucocutaneous Junction Separation




 
 
Partial or complete separation of the stoma from the peristomal skin due to suture line breakdown. SQ fat and serosal layer of the bowel may be visible.
 

Use of steroids, infection, malnutrition, and abdominal radiation are contributing factors.



Because of tension the ostomy is separating from the skin or it could be that the opening in skin is too large for stoma.
