This paper considers the common presentation of upper gastrointestinal (GI) signs and symptoms. It discusses their prevalence, aetiology, clinical presentation and the importance of comprehensive history taking and examination. In addition, the article explores investigations, management pathways and criteria for referral to a gastroenterologist, including the two-week referral pathway. While the paper focuses on UK practice, it draws upon evidence and guidance from around the world and therefore guidelines for managing upper GI presentations can vary between countries and continents.

Ralitza Marinova, Petya Marinova
Stoma formation is a life-changing procedure and a patients' journey adjusting back to life may be very overwhelming, both physically and psychosocially. This is why it is of paramount importance that a dedicated stoma nursing team can provide life-long support for these patients. Stoma nurses are fundamental to the provision of care for these patients. They ensure that with their clinical expertise and skills, patients are well-supported to ensure their quality of life is maintained to the highest standards and hospital admissions and unnecessary appointments with other healthcare professionals are avoided. However, the role of the stoma nurse as a clinical nurse specialist is not well-defined and the lack of understanding often leads to unrealistic expectations from the multidisciplinary teams. This is why it is fundamental to define the role of the stoma nurse, to ensure that both patients and healthcare professionals have realistic expectations and understand what a unique role this is.

Patients with digestive ostomies frequently experience effluent leakage in the early postoperative period, leading to complications and reduced quality of life. The convex appliance and adaptable rings in ostomy (CONAN) study investigated a new combined treatment strategy for reducing leakage and improving patient satisfaction. This prospective, multicenter study involved 244 patients with digestive ostomies and early effluent leakage across 54 stoma units in Spain. Patients were treated with the CONAN strategy, using a light convex ostomy appliance (Easiflex Confort Convex Light) and a flexible ring (Brava moldable). Stoma care nurses collected data on leak episodes per day and patient satisfaction (0–10 scale) at baseline and 2–3 weeks post-discharge. Multivariate analysis identified patient characteristics associated with greater treatment benefit. Patients experienced a significant reduction in mean leak episodes per day (3.4 ± 5.2 to 1.3 ± 2.3, p<.0001). Mean patient satisfaction significantly increased post-treatment (5.1 ± 2 to 7.2 ± 1.7, p<.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed the following factors were associated with high patient satisfaction (≥ 8 over 10): shorter hospital admission, programmed surgery (vs. emergency), closed ostomy appliance (vs. open) and multi-piece appliance systems. The CONAN strategy, combining a light convex ostomy appliance and flexible rings, effectively reduces leakage and improves satisfaction in patients with digestive ostomies and early effluent leakage. Patients with longer hospital stays, emergency ostomy surgery, open ostomy systems and single-piece appliances may benefit most from early intervention with this strategy.
