What Is Pancaking?

Pancaking is when stool builds up around the stoma when it should drop down into the ostomy pouch.

Why Is it Important To Prevent Pancaking?

It can lead to leakage.

It can corrode the skin barrier and lead to sore skin around the stoma.

According to a study by Perrin A et al 48% of those surveyed reported that pancaking pushed their ostomy appliance off their body during the day. Also, 82% of respondents experienced pancaking to a certain degree.
