Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prolapse is a common complication following enterostomy; the defect and consequences of a prolapse significantly affect health-related quality of life. Creative techniques must be employed to manage the prolapse.

 

CASES: This article describes management of 3 neonates with stoma prolapse.

 

CONCLUSION: Management of stoma prolapse should be individualized, employing successful nonoperative techniques rather than more difficult operative procedures to prevent recurrent prolapse.
