| Sumario: | Healthy peristomal skin is imperative to ensure maximum pouch adhesion. There is widespread literature available on peristolmal skin disorders, but little available on peristomal ulceration. It has been identified that nicorandil, an anti-anginal drug, may be the cause of non-healing peristomal ulceration. This article will highlight a problem that has not been widely documented, but caused us as health professionals, and our patient, much anguish. We will present a case study of a non-healing peristomal ulcer and review the appropriate literature to identify a possible cause. |
