Abstract
Stoma prolapse is one of the most common late complications following stoma construction. Although prolapses can be managed conservatively, they often require surgical revision. This study aimed to describe a revision method called peristomal cerclage applied with local anesthesia to treat stoma prolapse. A 66-year-old male patient with advanced rectal cancer underwent sigmoid loop colostomy one year ago due to a distal occlusive tumor. A revision of the colostomy prolapse that developed postoperatively was planned. After the reduction of the 12 cm prolapse into the abdomen under local anesthesia, a repair was performed in the form of peristomal wrapping of a vessel tape; except for short-term abdominal distension, no complications developed in the patient. He is currently in the postoperative 26th month and terminal period, and his colostomy is working normally. The present report aimed to describe the peristomal cerclage method, a minimally invasive revision procedure applied to patients with stoma prolapse, and to deliver its long-term results. It is important to report the results obtained with the more widespread use of this method.
