Delivering a standardized educational intervention during the preoperative period versus postoperative education delivery during the ostomy surgery hospital course did not reduce length of stay. Analysis indicated that overall complications, mortality, and readmission rates were significantly higher in the preoperative education program group but we hypothesize that intervening factors may have influenced these outcomes.
