Insights
Colostomy evagination is a difficult complication after Hirschsprung
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Medical Case Reports
Background:
- Primary surgery for Hirschsprung's disease is often hindered by significant intestinal enlargement.
- Colostomy is frequently required initially to normalize colon diameter.
- Colostomy evagination affects 6.1% of patients, posing complex surgical challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel surgical approach for treating colostomy evagination.
- To describe the successful management of a challenging case in a child with subtotal Hirschsprung's disease.
Main Methods:
- Surgical reconstruction of the evaginated colostomy.
- Detailed case report of a pediatric patient with subtotal Hirschsprung's disease.
Main Results:
- Successful surgical correction of colostomy evagination was achieved.
- The presented technique offered a viable solution for a difficult complication.
Conclusions:
- Surgical treatment can effectively address colostomy evagination in pediatric Hirschsprung's disease.
- This case highlights a potentially successful method for managing this challenging complication.
Abstract:
In children with Hirschsprung's disease, primary radical surgery is often impossible due to significant intestinal enlargement above the aganglionic segment. Thus, colostomy is necessary at the first stage for normalization of colon diameter. Postoperative colostomy evagination occurs in 6.1% of cases, and correction is extremely difficult. In such cases, most authors recommend colostomy reconstruction that also does not guarantee success in postoperative period. We present surgical treatment of colostomy evagination in a child with subtotal form of Hirschsprung's disease.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
