Abstract:
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.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
