Stapler-assisted stoma prolapse repair with real-time fluorescent angiography using indocyanine green: A simple, safe, and fast solution to a frequent problem

2020 
Stoma prolapse is an increase in the size of the stoma secondary to intussusception of the proximal bowel segment. Transverse loop colostomy is most commonly involved. Although ostomy function is rarely impaired, large prolapses may cause patients distress and impair stoma dressing. Strangulation and ischemia of the prolapsed segment have been reported as complications. Herein, we report a stapler-associated repair of a prolapsed transverse loop colostomy with real-time perfusion studies using indocyanine green.
