[Criteria of enterostomy complications: classification and grading (2023 edition)].

Enterostomy-related complications are common in abdominal surgery. The incidence enterostomy-related complications varies according to the type and location of stoma, surgical procedure, and patient characteristics. Currently, there are no uniform criteria wopldwide for the classification of enterostomy complications. Previous classification of enterostomy-related complications were based on time of occurrence, clinical manifestations, or anatomical changes, etc., lacking uniformity and reproducibility. The concept and diagnostic criteria of complications are not yet clearly defined; and it is difficult to accurately determine the relationship between their severity, intervention, and medical cost. Moreover, surgeons and enterostomal therapists differ significantly in their concerns, cognition, and management principles for stoma-related complications. Therefore,the Chinese Ostomy Collaboration Group (COCG), together with the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Colon and Rectal Surgeon Committee of Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Committee of Colorectal Cancer of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association, and the Colorectal Surgery Group of Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, jointly drafted the criteria for the classification and grading of enterostomy complications. We hope this criteria will facilitate prospective data collection, clinical diagnosis, treatment, medical training and education.肠造口并发症是腹部外科常见并发症。其发生与造口类型、部位、操作技术及患者临床特点等有关。目前，肠造口并发症分型尚缺乏统一的标准，不同文献根据并发症的发生时间、临床表现及解剖改变等进行归类，缺乏同质性和可重复性。并发症概念和诊断要点不够明确，很难准确判断其严重程度和干预级别与医疗消耗之间的关系。此外，外科医生和造口治疗师对于造口并发症的关注点、认知和处理原则也呈现显著差异。为此，中国造口管理协作组、中华护理学会伤口造口失禁护理专业委员会、中国医师协会外科医师分会结直肠医师专业委员会、中国抗癌协会大肠癌专业委员会和中华医学会外科学分会结直肠外科学组共同牵头，联合组织全国腹部外科专家和护理专家，讨论制定了肠造口并发症的分型分级标准以形成规范，便于学术研究的开展、临床诊疗实施及进行培训教育。.
