Background: Parastomal evisceration is a very uncommon complication of stomas with only few cases reported in the literature. This complication can be developed in the early postoperative period due to technical aspects of stoma creation, but late parastomal evisceration appearing after 6 months from surgery is an exceptional condition. Herein, we present a rare case of a patient with late parastomal evisceration.
Case Presentation: A 44-year-old man with sigmoid volvulus underwent a temporary end-terminal colostomy. The ostomy was complicated by a parastomal hernia and stoma prolapse 5 months postoperatively. He was brought into our emergency department having been found collapsed in the street. On physical examination, the patient presented signs of shock and evisceration of small bowel through the colostomy. Intraoperatively, a perforation of prolapsed colon was assessed as the point for intestinal evisceration. We discuss this case and all similar cases reported in the literature.
Conclusion: Parastomal evisceration is a potentially life-threatening complication. Patients with parastomal hernia and stoma prolapse must be considered for surgical treatment to avoid this complication.

Diverting Stoma-Related Evisceration: A Comprehensive Review of 28 Case Reports Published in the Medical Literature in English.

Evisceration is an exceptional complication of diverting a stoma (a common procedure, often considered a minor surgery) with peculiar, specific, features (distinct-to-usual incisional evisceration), due to the presence of a stoma. Available data are limited to a few case reports; some aspects are not fully documented. The results of 28 case reports (full-text articles published in the English literature) were analyzed using 14 variables: age and gender; pathology; surgical setting; index surgery and type of stoma; intended stoma creation; time from surgery to evisceration; type of evisceration; visceral content; cause of evisceration; specific predisposing/risk factors; surgical approach; resection of nonviable content; surgical stoma treatment; and short-term outcome.

Introduction: Incisional and parastomal hernias are frequent complications after cystectomy. The aim of our study was to define their incidence, identify risk factors related to the patient and the surgical technique, and identify means of prevention.
Material: This was a multicenter, retrospective study, analyzing clinical and radiological data from 521 patients operated on for cystectomy between January 2010 and December 2020.

Intussusception in adults is less frequent than in children, and it is less commonly seen in the colon than in the intestines. This may be explained by the fixation of the colon to the retroperitoneum. We herein describe a case of sigmoid colon intussusception caused by a sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma.

Background: Parastomal 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 Presentation: An urgent laparotomy was performed on a 58-year-old female patient for an acute cecal perforation with generalized peritonitis related to underlying colon cancer.

Introduction And Importance: Parastomal evisceration is a very uncommon complication of a stoma, with only a few cases currently published in the literature. It may occur either early or late following either ileostomy or colostomy and has been reported in both the emergency and elective setting. The aetiology is likely multifactorial, but a few risk factors have been identified that predispose to its occurrence.
