A novel, easy, non-operative method of treating prolapsed colostomy
Pediatric Surgery International, 10/14/09

Dutta HK et al. – The tubes were kept for an average period of 4½ months. Only one patient had frequent displacement of the tube, which the mother learned to reposition without any other problems. The authors feel that this non–operative simple procedure can be used for treatment of massive colostomy prolapse without any complications. Parents can learn this procedure easily thus avoiding frequent hospitalisation and other invasive procedures.
