“…There are several reports of successful use of sugar as osmotic therapy to aid in treatment of oedema to allow manual reduction [495][496][497][498] as well as hyaluronidase [499]. Some simple devices have been described in case series to prevent recurrence of stoma prolapse [500].…”

“…First‐line management is gentle manual reduction which should ideally be undertaken promptly prior to the formation of significant oedema [ 494 ]. There are several reports of successful use of sugar as osmotic therapy to aid in treatment of oedema to allow manual reduction [ 495 , 496 , 497 , 498 ] as well as hyaluronidase [ 499 ]. Some simple devices have been described in case series to prevent recurrence of stoma prolapse [ 500 ].…”

“…For acute stoma prolapse, manual reduction can be attempted at the bed side. In cases of significant bowel edema, topical granulated sugar may be effective as an osmotic therapy [3,10,46]. Once the prolapse has reduced, adjusting the pouch size and the opening in the skin barrier may prevent trauma.…”

“…Existing management of stoma prolapse for the most part involves simple manual reduction with adequate pain control. More recently the use of osmotic agents has been widely adopted for reduction of oedema to facilitate manual reduction [4][5][6]. Failure to achieve this in an awake or sedated patient indicates a general anaesthetic to ensure complete reduction.…”
