BackgroundParastomal evisceration represents a preventable surgical complication that should not occur with appropriate technical diligence and surgical skills. While late parastomal hernias are well described in the literature, there is a paucity of reports on the early postoperative occurrence of parastomal intestinal evisceration.Case presentationAn urgent laparotomy was performed on a 58-year-old female patient for an acute cecal perforation with generalized peritonitis related to underlying colon cancer. Intraoperative revelations necessitated a carcinologic right colectomy and the creation of an end-loop ileocolostomy. Following six sessions of adjuvant chemotherapy, Computed tomography scans raised uncertainties about the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Consequently, a collaborative decision was reached in a multidisciplinary discussion to conduct a surgical biopsy of these deposits before reinstating digestive continuity. The surgical procedure started with stoma mobilization. However, adhesions and a relatively confined aperture curtailed a comprehensive peritoneal cavity exploration. Thus, a midline incision was executed. The verdict from the frozen section examination affirmed metastatic presence, prompting the retention of the stoma. Within 48 h post-surgery, an early-stage parastomal evisceration occurred, stemming from an inadequately sealed aponeurotic sheath. The exposed bowel surface was encased in fibrin, necessitating meticulous irrigation with a warm saline solution before repositioning it within the peritoneal cavity. Accurate adjustment of the aponeurosis closure ensued, coupled with a meticulous reconstitution of the stoma. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was subsequently referred for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.ConclusionsPreventing parastomal evisceration requires adherence to established stoma-creation protocols, including creating a properly sized fascial opening and secure fixation. In instances of excessive fascial opening, ensuring a tension-free and meticulous closure is imperative.
