Prolapse is especially common in the temporary loop stoma, and conservative management is recommended until the ostomy is reversed.11 If the prolapsed stoma is not at risk for obstruction or ischemia, it may be managed with manual reduction and a support binder or belt with a prolapse flap to stabilize the stoma.8 Unfortunately, a support belt may provide insufficient pressure to contain the prolapsed stoma.11 In this case, the size of the prolapse may be reduced by applying a cold compress or sprinkling table sugar on the exposed mucosa.2 The sugar creates an osmotic gradient that safely reduces the size of the prolapse.
Barr8 suggests reducing the prolapse and applying the pouching system while the person is supine. This maneuver allows the clinician to accommodate the enlarged diameter and additional length with an adapted stomal opening using a flat, flexible faceplate. A prolapsed stoma often becomes chronic, and surgical revision may be indicated later if the condition is complicated by obstruction, chronic bleeding, ischemia, or stomal ulceration.19 The prolapsed segment can frequently be repaired with reconstruction of the ostomy at the original site, but recurrent prolapse may necessitate relocation of the stoma.20 Any signs of ischemia or obstruction should be referred to the physician.17
