Abstract
 We have executed surgical treatment on two cases with ileal conduit peristomal skin exhibiting various problems and having difficulty in self-care.
 In case #1,the peristomal skin disorder consisted of abnormal elevation of a portion of the skin,accompanied by pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia(PEH).
 In case #2,the peristomal skin always came in contact with urine and PEH exhibited.
 Due to the fact that ware limitations in the selection of stomal equipments and application techniques,we have requested cooperation of plastic surgeons with the reconstruction of the peristomal skin as an alternative treatment.
 As a result,ease and stability in the application of the stomal equipments,facilitated self-care,in addition to relief of psychological and financial burden imposed by frequent changing. Thus,the surgical treatment proved effective in these cases.
 In such cases where the quality of life deteriorates due to difficulties in stomal care,a plastic treatment may prove useful,with considerration to the patient's age and recuperative strength.
