SHAIKH, N; BLANCO, RV; VENTE, M  and  EBRAHIM, R. Incarcerated trans-stomal herniation resembling a stomal prolapse - a case report. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2025, vol.63, n.1, pp.31-33. ISSN 2078-5151.  https://doi.org/10.36303/SAJS.00986.

Trans-stomal herniation, where abdominal contents protrude through the stomal aperture and lie between the two intestinal walls of the stoma is a very rare complication of stomas and can resemble a stomal prolapse. We describe a unique case of a stomal prolapse and concurrent trans-stomal small bowel herniation, which required emergency stoma refashioning for incarceration.

Keywords : stomal aperture; trans-stomal herniation; stomal prolapse; emergency stoma refashioning.
