Core Tip	This retrospective study demonstrates that sodium zirconium alginate dressings are an effective intervention for peristomal dermatitis after gastrointestinal surgery. Compared to conventional dressings, their use resulted in significantly higher clinical efficacy, improved skin condition scores (discolouration, erosion, tissue overgrowth/assessment, intervention, monitoring), lower complication rates, and greater patient satisfaction, offering a superior management strategy for this common postoperative complication.
