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.
