Summary

Stoma prolapse, a common intestinal stoma complication, can be managed non-surgically for temporary stomas. A simple device using a pediatric medicine cup effectively treated distal limb prolapse of a transverse colostomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Medical Device Design

Background:

  • Stoma prolapse is a frequent complication following intestinal stoma creation.
  • While surgical interventions exist, non-surgical management is preferable for temporary stomas.
  • Distal limb prolapse of a transverse colostomy presents a specific clinical challenge.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with distal limb prolapse of a right transverse colostomy.
  • A novel, conservative treatment approach was implemented.
  • The treatment involved a custom-designed device for prolapse reduction and fixation.

Findings:

  • A simple, cost-effective device was fabricated from a pediatric medicine cup and towel.
  • The device effectively compressed the prolapsing stoma limb.

  • An abdominal binder secured the device, maintaining stoma reduction.
  • The non-surgical treatment yielded satisfactory results for the patient.

    • Implications:

    • This case demonstrates a viable non-surgical option for managing temporary transverse colostomy distal limb prolapse.
    • The described device offers a potentially simple and accessible solution for this complication.
    • Further investigation into this conservative approach may refine treatment protocols for stoma prolapse.
