Following flap advancement surgery I have developed a mucosal prolapse. The surgeon suggests that I push it back in which I have been doing but it comes right back out. It's very uncomfortable and interferes with emptying. I will be given a diversion ileostomy in a couple of weeks. Is that likely to deal with a prolapse? I know this is a question for the surgeon but I don't have the same access to him as I do to this helpful comminity!
As I understand it, a mucosectomy is the most effective treatment for mucosal prolapse. Perhaps they can sometimes heal on their own with a diversion ileostomy, but it might be worth asking about the statistics. If I were to choose a mucosectomy I would want a very skilled and experienced surgeon.
