Abstract
Background: Prolapse is a known complication of the enteric stoma. The management of an incarcerated prolapse is usually immediate surgical revision. In the literature, case reports exist documenting the use of sugar as an osmotic agent to facilitate reduction of an incarcerated prolapsed rectum or an enteric stoma. This to the best of our knowledge is the first case report in the gynecological oncology literature detailing the use of sugar as a pro-osmotic for the reduction of a prolapsed colostomy in the setting of advanced gynecological peritoneal malignancy.
