I have an ileostomy with a fairly mild parastomal hernia. Since I got the hernia, the top part of my stoma has developed a pretty large prolapse. It's moved the exit hole down to the bottom of my stoma and makes for a complicated fit for my 2-piece system. Skin irritation occasionally develops without a really good fit. Has anyone here had any type of surgical procedure to fix a prolapsed stoma? This support site has been a huge help the past 3 years for me, so I'm hoping it'll help me once again... lololol

I don't have any expertise in this. Hopefully, others will chime in. I think I would seek medical advice on this.

Hi there!!
I actually have the reverse issue and would happily offer to take the "extra" you want to get rid of...eheheheh
Jokes apart, I asked both my stoma nurse and my surgeon about correction, and both answered that yes, stomas can be surgically "reviewed" but only if the issues they cause are really severe...guess that would apply to your situation as well
