Abstract: Patients with colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions often face the challenge of leakage following ostomy surgery. Leakage primarily results from a mismatch between the peristomal body profile and the ostomy product. The peristomal body profile assessment tool is designed to facilitate precise selection of ostomy products and accessories for patients through a structured evaluation process. This article reviews the types, assessment procedures, combined nursing interventions, and application effects of peristomal body profile assessment tools in ostomy care to provide evidence for clinical practice and enhance the prognosis of ostomy patients.

Key words: ostomy; peristomal body profile assessment tool; peristomal skin complication; quality of life; review
