Abstract
Stoma prolapse is a well-described complication after ileostomy or colostomy, it is typically asymptomatic and easily reduced. Acute incarceration of a prolapsed stoma is a rare event and a surgical emergency. In the presence of a prolapse, a very edematous one, the application of table sugar on the prolapsed segment for a few minutes reduces the edema by osmotic effect and causes or facilitates the reduction. This case reports the successful application of sugar to a 45-year-old woman to reduce a prolapsed colostomy, eliminating the need for urgent surgery. Successful reduction can prevent an emergent operation, allowing for medical optimization and elective surgical treatment if necessary.
