I have had an ileostomy (Crohn's related) for 9 months now. At the start it recessed, then a few months ago began protruding, now is about 15cm out. But at nigh when lying down, it often retracts all the way back.



Anyway, I have read about a surgical technique using a stapling device, where the surgery lasts 15 - 30 minutes and it is done under sedation.



Anyone experienced with having such a prolapse repaired? If so, how was it repaired and did the repair last?
