Retrospective analysis reveals that colostomies enhance wound healing in patients with sacral pressure ulcers, indicating lower infection rates.

Colostomy creation led to improved wound healing in patients with sacral pressure ulcers, reducing infection.
Regression analysis indicated fewer species of gut microbiota and lower rates of wound dehiscence was found after closure.
Data from adult patients was retrospectively analyzed, highlighting the impact of colostomies on patient recovery.
Colostomies did not increase mortality rates, suggesting they are a safe intervention for enhancing wound healing.

Tseng et al. (2025) studied this question.
