Article: Stoma Bridge Types and Their Impact on Patient Outcomes: A Retrospective Analysis and Prospective Global Survey of Surgical Practice

This month, we’ll unpack a study exploring how the choice between rigid and flexible stoma bridges influences peristomal skin integrity, leakage rates, and complication risks — and why the findings have important implications for nursing care, patient education, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

It’s a fascinating discussion that connects directly to the day-to-day practice of NSWOCs and SWANs.

• Discuss current evidence shaping ostomy care practices.
