Abstract:
A 79-year-old man underwent sigmoid colostomy about 50 years previously and sought surgical reconstruction of the colostomy. He presented with 30 cm of prolapsed stoma accompanying an intrastomal hernia which contained ileum. The prolapsed stoma which led to the intrastomal hernia was made from the distal sigmoid colon, and the everted colon wall constituted the hernia sac. A computed tomography scan was useful to demonstrate the contents of the intrastomal hernia. Reconstruction with relocation of the colostomy was considered appropriate for the presented patient. The thickened and stretched distal sigmoid colon was resected with the stoma. A new end colostomy using the descending colon was seated in the left upper quadrant. The lateral pararectus muscles which formed the 8-cm hernia orifice were closed using tension-reducing incisions. The postoperative course was uneventful.

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...
