Abstract
AIM Digestive stoma are frequently performed. The last French guidelines have been published twenty years ago. Our aim was to update French clinical practice guidelines for the perioperative management of digestive stoma and stoma-related complications. METHODS A systematic literature review of French and English articles published between January 2000 and May 2022 was performed. Only digestive stoma for fecal evacuation in adults were considered. Stoma in children, urinary stoma, digestive stoma for enteral nutrition, and rare stoma (Koch, perineal) were not included. RESULTS Guidelines include the surgical landmarks to create digestive stoma (ideal location, mucocutaneous anastomosis, utility of support rods, use of prophylactic mesh), the perioperative clinical practice guidelines (patient education, preoperative ostomy site marking, postoperative equipment, prescriptions, and follow-up), the management of early stoma-related complications (difficulties for nursing, high output, stoma necrosis, retraction, abscess and peristomal skin complications), and the management of late stoma-related complications (stoma prolapse, parastomal hernia, stoma stenosis, late stoma retraction). A level of evidence was assigned to each statement. CONCLUSION These guidelines will be very useful in clinical practice, and allow to delete some outdated dogma.

Abstract
Introduction: Stomal prolapse (SP) is characterized by full-thickness protrusion of the bowel through the stoma site. The surgical procedures for SP include local repair, abdominal wall fixation, and stoma relocation. However, previous reports were mostly case reports or case series with a small number of patients and lacked long-term results. A modified Altemeier technique (MAT) has been used for the local repair of SP in our institution, and this study aimed to evaluate its mid-term efficacy. Methods: We reviewed patients who underwent MAT for SP between August 2013 and December 2020. The variables included patient characteristics, type of stoma, indications of stoma creation, the time interval from stoma creation to prolapse, site of prolapse, reasons for SP surgery, perioperative variables, complications during SP surgery, and length of follow-up. Recurrence of SP was defined as the need for change in stoma care or re-protrusion of the stoma by more than 5 cm in length. Results: Ten patients were included in this study. The median age at the time of SP surgery was 71.5 years. The indications of stoma creation included unresectable or recurrent intra-abdominal malignancies in four patients, diverting ileostomy with rectal cancer surgery in two, transverse colon cancer in one, gastric and rectal cancer in one, rectovaginal fistula in one, and non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia in one. The median interval from stoma creation to prolapse was 2.5 months. Six patients underwent elective SP surgery, and four patients underwent emergency surgery for incarcerated prolapse. The median operative time was 75.5 min. Postoperative complications that included transient mucosal ischemia and subcutaneous abscess occurred in one patient. There were four recurrences (40%), and the median time interval from surgery to recurrence was 4.5 months. Two patients underwent repeated MAT, one of whom underwent stomal reversal with laparotomy for re-recurrence. The median follow-up duration was 19 months. Conclusion: MAT for SP is associated with a high recurrence rate in mid-term follow-up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stoma prolapse is a common complication associated with ostomy creation, causing leakage, obstruction, and sometimes incarceration. Sometimes ileostomy prolapse cannot be treated with resection and alternative methods must be applied. We propose a new surgical revisional technique for ileostomy prolapse. TECHNIQUE Under general anesthesia, the prolapsed stoma is dissected and freed from the fascia and skin. The bowel is everted to create a nipple of 2-3 cm and subsequently fixed with a 3-row linear stapler, creating a "Phillips ileostomy." The ileostomy is then sutured to the skin with 3-0 full thickness stitches. RESULTS In our center, 3 patients were treated in a day surgery setting, and no complication occurred. One patient reported a prolapse recurrence after 6 months and was successfully treated with the same technique with no recurrence at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS The 3-row stapler fixation of prolapsed ileostomy is simple to perform, preserves the bowel, and can be performed in the day surgery setting.

Evaluation of the Outcome of Local Surgery for Stomal Prolapse. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10225438.

Abstract
We reviewed the results of local surgical treatment of stoma prolapse, a long-term complication of stoma construction. Fifteen patients treated for stomal prolapse between 2009 and 2020 at the authors' and affiliated hospitals were included in this study. The treatment comprised local laparotomic stomal reconstruction (LLSR) in nine patients and stapling repair (SR) in six. We compared and evaluated the clinical and surgical information and postoperative complications. Operation time was significantly shorter in the SR group than in the LLSR group: 20 and 53 min, respectively (p = 0.036). The duration of postoperative hospitalization was shorter in the SR group than in the LLSR group: 5.5 and 8 days, respectively; the difference was not significant (p = 0.088). No short-term complications were found in either group. Regarding long-term, postoperative complications, parastomal hernias developed after 2.5 years in one patient in the LLSR group and after 6 months in one patient in the SR group; both patients had histories of parastomal hernia surgery and had relatively high body mass indices. Local surgery for stomal prolapse was minimally invasive and performed safely. In patients with a history of surgery for parastomal hernia, attention must be paid to the potential of parastomal hernia developing as a postoperative complication.

Abstract
Blood plays an essential role in the human body. Hemorrhage is a critical cause of both military and civilian casualties. The human body has its own hemostatic mechanism that involves complex processes and has limited capacity. However, in emergency situations such as battlefields and hospitals, when the hemostatic mechanism of the human body itself cannot stop bleeding effectively, hemostatic materials are needed for saving lives. In this review, the hemostatic mechanisms and performance of the most commonly used hemostatic materials, (including fibrin, collagen, zeolite, gelatin, alginate, chitosan, cellulose and cyanoacrylate) and the commercial wound dressings based on these materials, will be discussed. These materials may have limitations, such as poor tissue adhesion, risk of infection and exothermic reactions, that may lessen their hemostatic efficacy and cause secondary injuries. High-performance hemostatic materials, therefore, have been designed and developed to improve hemostatic efficiency in clinical use. In this review, hemostatic materials with advanced performances, such as antibacterial capacity, superhydrophobicity/superhydrophilicity, superelasticity, high porosity and/or biomimicry, will be introduced. Future prospects of hemostatic materials will also be discussed in this review.

Abstract
AIM There is a requirement for an expansive and up to date review of the management of emergency colorectal conditions seen in adults. The primary objective is to provide detailed evidence-based guidelines for the target audience of general and colorectal surgeons who are responsible for an adult population and who practise in Great Britain and Ireland. METHODS Surgeons who are elected members of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland Emergency Surgery Subcommittee were invited to contribute various sections to the guidelines. They were directed to produce a pathology-based document using literature searches that were systematic, comprehensible, transparent and reproducible. Levels of evidence were graded. Each author was asked to provide a set of recommendations which were evidence-based and unambiguous. These recommendations were submitted to the whole guideline group and scored. They were then refined and submitted to a second vote. Only those that achieved >80% consensus at level 5 (strongly agree) or level 4 (agree) after two votes were included in the guidelines. RESULTS All aspects of care (excluding abdominal trauma) for emergency colorectal conditions have been included along with 122 recommendations for management. CONCLUSION These guidelines provide an up to date and evidence-based summary of the current surgical knowledge in the management of emergency colorectal conditions and should serve as practical text for clinicians managing colorectal conditions in the emergency setting.

Minimally Invasive Correction of Prolapsed, Gangrenous Distal Limb of Loop Ileostomy to End-Loop Stoma. Case Rep Surg 2020; 2020:8873388. [PMID: 33204567 PMCID: PMC7665926 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8873388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2020] [Revised: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Prolapse can be a complication of loop stomas. A prolapsed stoma which cannot be reduced or complicated with strangulation needs surgical correction. This case report describes a minimal access correction of a prolapsed gangrenous distal limb of ileostomy. Presentation of Case. A 67-year-old male patient was diagnosed with a lower rectal carcinoma, staged T3N1M0. Following neoadjuvant chemoradiation, he underwent a laparoscopic anterior resection with a defunctioning loop ileostomy. One month later, he presented with prolapse of the distal limb of the ileostomy. The limb was gangrenous and the gangrenous part was removed by using a linear GI stapler, and the loop ileostomy was converted to end-loop ileostomy. Discussion. It is a simple and technically feasible method for treating a prolapsed loop of the stoma. It is less invasive and has minimal postoperative complications. This technique reduces the duration of the hospital stay of the patient. Conclusion Stapled assisted correction of prolapsed stoma avoids unnecessary laparotomy and aids in expedite recovery after surgery. It is beneficial for a surgeon to be familiar with the minimal access correction for stoma prolapse.

Abstract
PURPOSE The published data on the outcomes of an operative repair for stoma prolapse are limited. This study aimed to clarify the long-term outcomes of stapler repair with anastomosis for stoma prolapse. METHODS Twenty-four patients (15 men, median age 64 years, range 33-88 years) undergoing 25 stapler repairs with anastomosis were prospectively registered, and their medical records were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The median length of prolapse was 10 cm (range 5-22). Stoma prolapse repair was performed by means of 16 loop colostomies, four end colostomies, three loop ileostomies, and one end ileostomy. A stapler was used 4.6 times on average (range 4-8). The average operative time and bleeding were 40.8 (range 15-75) min and 40 (range 0-214) mL, respectively. No mortality and morbidity were observed after surgery. A recurrence of stoma prolapse was reported in only one of 25 repairs (4%) at the proximal limb of loop ileostomy during a median follow-up period of 1 year (range 1-120 months). However, a new stoma prolapsed in one untreated limb of loop stoma. CONCLUSIONS Stapler repair with anastomosis is a safe and minimally invasive treatment option for stoma prolapse with a low recurrence. However, the effectiveness of reparing stoma prolapse on the proximal limb of loop ileostomy might be limited.

Abstract
Inappropriate stoma site, improper management of stoma, and stoma complications lead to diminished quality of life of ostomates. Healthcare professionals involved in stoma creation and/or care should have the fundamental and updated knowledge of the management of stomas and their complications. This review article consists of the following major sections: principles of perioperative patient management, early complications, and late complications. In the “principles of perioperative patient management” section, the current concepts and trends in preoperative education, stoma site marking, postoperative education, and patient educational resources are discussed. In the “early complications” section, we have focused on the etiology and current management of ischemia/necrosis, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, mucocutaneous separation, and retraction. In the “late complications” section, we have focused on the etiology and current management of parastomal hernia, stoma prolapse, parastomal varices, and pyoderma gangrenosum. Pre- and postoperative patient education facilitates the patient's independence in stoma care and resumption of normal activities. Healthcare providers should have basic skills and updated knowledge on the management of stomas and complications of stomas, to act as the first crisis manager for ostomates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stoma prolapse is an intussusception of the bowel through a mature stoma. It can be caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure, excessively mobile bowel mesentery and/or a large opening in the abdominal wall at the time of stoma formation. It occurs predominantly in loop stomas, and correction methods include conservative modalities, such as local reduction to the prolapsed bowel, or surgical treatment. The purpose of this study was to describe our experience with the treatment of colostomy prolapse using a novel mesh strip technique. METHODS Between February 2009 and March 2018, ten consecutive male patients underwent correction of colostomy prolapse under local anesthesia by peristomal placement of a polypropylene mesh strip. Operation time, short- and long-term complications, and recurrence rates were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS No postoperative complications, morbidity or mortality were observed. The median length of the prolapse ranged from 6-20 cm, and the median operative time was 30 minutes. The median duration of follow-up was 25 months (range, 12-89 months). No relapse, mesh strip extrusion, local infection or granuloma formation were found. CONCLUSION A simple, fast, and low-cost operation under local anesthesia using a mesh strip is a valuable option to treat colostomy prolapse.

Abstract
A 64-year-old woman who underwent surgery for ovarian cancer, but were unable to be resected and were directly infiltrated at the terminal ileum, and the ileostomy in the oral side of the terminal ileum was performed as a palliative operation. Prolapse of the ileostomy appeared approximately 17 months after the operation, and after 19 months, the blood circulation disorder of the intestinal tract and the reduction of prolapse became difficult. Since the patient’s systemic condition was poor, anesthesia was not enforced, and an ileostomy reconstruction was performed using a stapling device while performing mild sedation. During the operation, the patient was unconscious, and the operation time was 29 minutes, and the general condition was not abnormal. In this paper, we report noninvasive local correction of loop ileostomy prolapse using a stapling device for a patient in the terminal phase of malignancy.

Abstract
When created properly, an ileostomy or colostomy can dramatically improve a patient's quality of life. Conversely, when a patient develops complications related to their stoma, the impact on physical and mental health can be profound. Unfortunately, significant morbidity is associated with stoma creation conveying high rates of both early and late-term complications. Early complications include stomal ischemia/necrosis, retraction, mucocutaneous separation, and parastomal abscess. Late complications include parastomal hernia, prolapse, retraction, and varices. This review will discuss commonly occurring nondermatological stoma complications and detail management strategies for the ostomate and the surgeon.

Abstract
Introduction One of the most common late complications following stoma construction is prolapse. Although the majority of prolapse can be managed conservatively, surgical revision is required with incarceration/strangulation and in certain cases laparotomy and/or stoma reversal are not appropriate. This report will inform surgeons on safe and effective approaches to revising prolapsed stomas using local techniques. Presentation of case A 58 year old female with an obstructing rectal cancer previously received a diverting transverse loop colostomy. On completion of neoadjuvant treatment, re-staging found new lung metastases. She was scheduled for further chemotherapy but incarcerated a prolapsed segment of her loop colostomy. As there was no plan to resect her primary rectal tumor at the time, a local revision was preferred. Linear staplers were applied to the prolapsed stoma in step-wise fashion to locally revise the incarcerated prolapse. Post-operative recovery was satisfactory with no complications or recurrence of prolapse. Discussion We detail in step-wise fashion a technique using linear stapler devices that can be used to locally revise prolapsed stoma segments and therefore avoid a laparotomy. The procedure is technically easy to perform with satisfactory post-operative outcomes. We additionally review all previous reports of local repairs and show the evolution of local prolapse repair to the currently reported technique. Conclusion This report offers surgeons an alternative, efficient and effective option for addressing the complications of stoma prolapse. While future studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes, in the short-term, our report confirms the safety and effectiveness of this local technique. Local repair of stoma prolapse avoids the consequences of a major laparotomy. Step-wise application of linear staplers effectively repairs prolapsed stomas. Patient outcomes are satisfactory after local repairs.

Abstract
Loop colostomy prolapse is associated with an impaired quality of life. Surgical treatment may sometimes be required for cases that cannot be closed by colon colostomy because of high-risk morbidities or advanced disease. We applied the Altimeter operation for patients with transverse loop colostomy. The Altemeier operation is therefore indicated for rectal prolapse. This technique involves a simple operation, which includes a circumferential incision through the full thickness of the outer and inner cylinder of the prolapsed limb, without incising the abdominal wall, and anastomosis with sutures using absorbable thread. We performed the Altemeier operation for three cases of loop stomal prolapse. Those patients demonstrated no postoperative complications (including obstruction, prolapse recurrence, or hernia). Our findings suggest that this procedure is useful as an optional surgical treatment for cases of transverse loop colostomy prolapse as a permanent measure in patients with high-risk morbidities or advanced disease.

Abstract
Stomas are created for a wide range of indications such as temporary protection of a high-risk anastomosis, diversion of sepsis, or permanent relief of obstructed defecation or incontinence. Yet this seemingly benign procedure is associated with an overall complication rate of up to 70%. Therefore, surgeons caring for patients with gastrointestinal diseases must be proficient not only with stoma creation but also with managing postoperative stoma-related complications. This article reviews the common complications associated with ostomy creation and strategies for their management.

Abstract
AIM To describe a surgical technique to treat colostomy prolapse as a day case procedure with the patient under sedation and analgesia. METHOD A 60-mm GIA Universal Stapler is inserted into the lumen of the prolapsed colon at right angles to the contour of the abdominal wall. Several firings are then made to completely divide the prolapsed colon. The instrument is then placed parallel to the skin to remove the prolapsed portion leaving 1-2 cm of bowel above the level of the skin. RESULTS Two patients underwent the procedure. The operation times were 30 and 13 min. Both took oral liquids 2 h after surgery and solids 2 h later. They were discharged at 24 and 4 h after surgery, respectively. No postoperative pain was reported in either case. At 14 and 6 months of follow-up there has been no recurrence. CONCLUSION Stapling treatment of prolapsed colostomies has the advantage of being an extra-abdominal procedure. It is performed under sedation and analgesia, the operation time is very short, recovery to normal life is rapid and there is less likelihood of complications by avoiding a laparotomy.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Prolapse and retraction of an intestinal stoma are postoperative complications which severely decrease the quality of life of patients and in some cases lead to an operative revision. Both entities should be treated with sophisticated care by specialized stoma therapists in the early phase in order to prevent secondary problems such as dermal ulceration. However, in case of additional problems, such as ileus, bleeding, incarceration or impossibility of adequate stoma care, an operative revision is indicated. It remains an individual decision whether a local or a transabdominal revision of the stoma is necessary.At present the level of information and the number of well designed studies dealing with prolapse or retraction of a stoma are unsatisfactory and there are merely studies which report on prolapse and retraction as an incidental finding rather than primarily focusing on these problems. In addition there is a lack of clear cut definitions for both entities which would allow a comparison of data obtained in different studies.There is clearly a demand for a structured scientific clarification as the occurrence of stomal retraction or prolapse may present psychological and medical problems for the patients and therefore needs to be treated, conservatively and/or operatively, by both stoma specialists and surgeons.

Abstract
Stoma complications are common. Most do not require reoperation, but when surgery is indicated, numerous options are available. Complications can arise early or late, and they can vary from benign to life-threatening. Meticulous preoperative planning is crucial in preventing stoma complications. Good communication with the patient is important in the decision-making process.

Abstract
Colostomy prolapse is a major cause of morbidity in paediatric patients with Hirschsprung's disease and anorectal malformations. Although it is commonly associated with the distal loop of a transverse colostomy, a sigmoid stoma can also be affected. We report six babies with anorectal malformations between day 10 and 6 months presenting with incessant crying and irritability following prolapsed colostomy stomas. In four patients only the distal stomas were involved but in the other two both proximal as well as distal loops had prolapsed. All the babies had poor oral intake and had bleeding from the prolapsed stomas. Manual reposition with sedation did not help. After reducing the prolapsed part a no. 7 or 7.5F Romsons tracheostomy tube was introduced through the stoma. A cotton tap (16-mm wide) was tied to the flanges of the tracheostomy tube and fastened around the flank for proper fixation. None of the babies had further prolapse and were passing stool through the tube. The tubes were kept for an average period of 4(1/2) (3-9(1/2)) months. Only one patient had frequent displacement of the tube, which the mother learned to reposition without any other problems. We feel that this non-operative simple procedure can be used for treatment of massive colostomy prolapse without any complications. Parents can learn this procedure easily thus avoiding frequent hospitalisation and other invasive procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stomal prolapse is a common complication of transverse loop colostomies. Although rarely required, surgical correction is associated with potential morbidity. We describe a novel surgical approach to repair stomal herniation that aims to decrease perioperative morbidity. CASE A 57 year-old patient with stage IVB adenocarcinoma of the cervix underwent a transverse loop colostomy for palliation of a rectovaginal fistula. Several months later, she presented with a large symptomatic stomal prolapse and elected local surgical correction. Under general anesthesia, we performed a revision of the colostomy with a stapling device. CONCLUSION Although long-term data are lacking, this approach is easy, safe, and a reasonable alternative for palliative revision of a prolapsed colostomy stoma.
