  • Title: Local treatment of a loop colostomy prolapse with a linear stapler.
    Author: Tepetes K, Spyridakis M, Hatzitheofilou C.
    Journal: Tech Coloproctol; 2005 Jul; 9(2):156-8. PubMed ID: 16007355.
    Abstract:
    Stomal prolapse is considered to be a common complication especially following loop colostomies. A variety of methods has been reported for the management of this condition, with many of them requiring extensive reconstruction of the stoma under anesthesia. We report a simple and fast technique for the local correction of the prolapse under minor sedation. A linear stapler device was applied for the amputation and reconstruction of the prolapse stoma at the desired level.
