Core Tip

Core Tip: Colostomy is important for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Surgical site wound infections after colostomy seriously affect patients' physical recovery and quality of life. Here we investigated the effect of high-quality nursing care on postoperative wound infection and complication rates among patients with colorectal cancer treated with colostomy and found that it can effectively reduce their risk of postoperative wound infection and complications, promote their postoperative recovery, and improve their nursing care satisfaction.
