This study shows that a clinical 4-day in-hospital educational stoma pathway is feasible and effective in increasing the LOI in SC of new stoma patients and significantly reducing their need for HNCS. Cost-benefit analysis and applicability of this pathway in multicentre settings are currently being investigated.
