Background: A postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is a prevalent complication after loop ileostomy closure. There are few studies on the risk factors and the development of predictive models for postoperative SSIs. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram model capable of accurately predicting the occurrence of postoperative SSIs.
