Prolapsed and Incarcerated End Colostomy Treated by Stoma Resection and Closure: A Case Report

Abstract

A male patient in his fifties underwent ascending colostomy due to anastomosis leakage following transverse colectomy. He developed right lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with prolapsed, edematous, and completely incarcerated end colostomy. It was not possible to restore the end colostomy to a normal position. Consequently, he received emergency end stoma resection and ileum-descending colon anastomosis. Remarkably, the patient's condition improved without any further complications, and he was discharged 14 days postoperatively.
