Stomal prolapse is a common complication of colostomies and, if severe, may affect the timing of the definitive procedure. A simple technique for postreduction bowel fixation without stomal revision is presented. The reduced bowel is attached to the parietal peritoneum using a "U" type suture a few centimeters from the stoma. Two short parallel segments of latex tubing prevent the thread from cutting through. Suture and bolsters are removed when adhesions are established. In one of the four children, a percutaneous cecostomy was employed to connect a prolapse of the entire proximal colon.

Intestinal stomas are used in the surgical management of a number of congenital and acquired gastrointestinal conditions. Minor stomal complications are relatively common and are often well managed with nonoperative measures. Stomal prolapse may not represent a serious problem, but occasionally it requires surgical correction because of severe skin excoriation, bleeding, or incarceration of the bowel. The authors describe the treatment of stomal prolapse with the technique of button-pexy fixation, as originally described by C.W. Mayo.

We investigated both pathogenesis and prevention of loop transverse stomal prolapse. Seven patients with reducible prolapsed stoma were studied under fluoroscopy after staining the prolapsed stoma and the colon by barium medium while prolapsing or reducing the stoma with or without the stomal wall pressed on to the abdominal wall of fascial plane. All prolapses occurred in the distal limbs of the loop stoma with the distal transverse colons redundant. The prolapse started around the mucocutaneous suture with the stoma inflated and the colon in it depressed and proceeded in accordance with an addition of abdominal pressure, but did not occur by pressing of the stomal wall. Prolapse of transverse loop stoma occurs when redundant colon invades the stoma with an abdominal pressure. Stomal prolapse might be prevented by fixation of the colon to the fascia.

Stomal prolapse is considered to be a common complication especially following loop colostomies. A variety of methods has been reported for the management of this condition, with many of them requiring extensive reconstruction of the stoma under anesthesia. We report a simple and fast technique for the local correction of the prolapse under minor sedation. A linear stapler device was applied for the amputation and reconstruction of the prolapse stoma at the desired level.

Stomal prolapse is a complication that can occur with all types of stoma. Not only does a prolapse cause issues with pouch management for the ostomist, but can also lead to many psychological problems. Stoma care nurses are often the first point of contact for ostomists when they prolapse, and are therefore in a position to assess, reassure and educate. However, in order to fully support the ostomist, nurses need to have a thorough understanding of the effect, both physical and psychological, that a prolapse can have on the patient and those closest to them.

Stomal prolapse is one of the common complications in transverse colostomy and can be managed conservatively in most cases; however, laparotomy and reconstruction of the stoma may sometimes be required, especially in case of irreducible colostomy prolapse. We have reported a simple local repair with reconstruction of the loop colostomy. We herein report a new more simple technique to avoid laparotomy and allow excision of the irreducible colostomy prolapse and complete closure of the distal limb of loop colostomy when no decompression is required in the distal limb of the stoma. In this procedure, the number of stapler and the time with blood loss for the operation can be saved.

The number of permanent colostomies carried out in the United Kingdom is approximately 6400 per year1. Stomal prolapse is a known complication of colostomy formation. We presented the first case of small bowel herniation into a healthy stomal prolapse with subsequent ischaemia of the herniated bowel in a 102-year-old patient. This rare sequela of a relatively common stomal complication highlights an important consideration when faced with a large prolapse presenting acutely. It also raises an important discussion point for the management of our ever-ageing patient population.

Stomal prolapse is a known late complication of urinary diversions commonly used in urology. While rare, it can lead to ischemia, necrosis, and obstruction of the stoma, requiring urgent reduction before formal revision can be undertaken. Several measures can be attempted to reduce the prolapse including manual pressure and topical osmotic agents. One method that has not been reported in the urologic literature is the use of hyaluronidase. Herein, we report the first case in the literature of hyaluronidase usage to assist in reduction of an ischemic and obstructed prolapsed incontinent ileovesicostomy after manual compression failed.
