Background: The purpose the study was to assess the incidence of Colostomy prolapse with sigmoid loop colostomies performed through rectus muscle splitting Incision.Methods: Colostomy prolapse may present serious problems for patient care and stoma function6. Sigmoid loop colostomy was done for babies with High anorectal malformation (HARM) and Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) from Jan2012 to Dec2014 in two referral hospitals. All colostomies were sigmoid loop colostomies and done by a single surgeon through rectus muscle splitting incision. All patients were followed up for colostomy prolapse for at least 6 months.Results: A total of 110 babies managed with colostomy during the study period. The patients comprised of 68 males and 42 females. High anorectal malformation accounted for 66 babies [males 48, females18] while Hirschsprung’s disease was the surgical indication in 44 [males20, females24]. The age at colostomy ranged from 1day to 4 years. A total of 32 complications were recorded in 25patients [29%]. There were 4 deaths [3.6%]. Early complications like Haemorrhage and septicaemia was seen 4 patients. Colostomy stenosis was observed in 3 cases requiring only dilatation. Colostomy prolapse was seen only in 3 patients [3.24%]. Skin excoriation was the commonest complication, noted in 10 patients. Failure to thrive secondary to colostomy diarrhoea was observed in 3 patients. Superficial wound dehiscence occurred in 3 babies. Urinary tract infection seen in 5 and Intestinal obstruction requiring laparotomy occurred in one baby.Conclusions: Colostomy prolapse is very common after loop colostomies. Rectus muscle splitting incision for loop colostomies is safe and is associated with low incidence of colostomy prolapse.

This report presents a surgical case of postoperative megarectum in an adult patient with imperforate anus/anorectal malformations. A 71-year-old Japanese male presented with a mass in the lower abdomen which was 15 × 12 × 8 cm in diameter, edema in the right lower extremity, and frequent urination. He had undergone sigmoid loop colostomy for an imperforate anus as a newborn infant. At 28 years of age, the sigmoid loop colostomy was changed to sigmoid divided colostomy in the left lower abdomen. Computed tomography revealed a large cystic mass in the lower abdomen. Retrograde urethrography indicated a rectourethral fistula and megarectum with stones. A small laparotomy incision was created in the right lower abdomen, and the wall of the megarectum was identified. Approximately 2,300 mL of gray muddy fluid was identified and drained. A mucous fistula of the upper rectum was created in the right lower abdomen. This is an extremely rare case of postoperative megarectum in an adult patient with an imperforate anus and rectourethral fistula.

This report describes a rare occurrence of spontaneous closure of direct bilateral carotid cavernous fistula in a 62-year-old woman who had head injury. This was confirmed by clinical examination and subsequent angiogram. Partial thrombosis of bilateral superior ophthalmic veins was observed in the initial arteriography. This finding may be useful in prediction of spontaneous cure of carotid cavernous fistulas.
