Intestinal stomas are used in the surgical management of a number of congenital and acquired gastrointestinal conditions. Minor stomal complications are relatively common and are often well managed with nonoperative measures. Stomal prolapse may not represent a serious problem, but occasionally it requires surgical correction because of severe skin excoriation, bleeding, or incarceration of the bowel. The authors describe the treatment of stomal prolapse with the technique of button-pexy fixation, as originally described by C.W. Mayo.
