Parastomal hernia
L Martin, G Foster, L Martin, G Foster
Abstract
Parastomal herniation is a common complication after stoma formation. The incidence can be reduced by using an extraperitoneal technique, limiting the size of the trephine to 1.5-2.0 cm or by strengthening with a mesh. If an intraperitoneal technique is used the intestine should be brought out through the rectus muscle. Generally, the symptoms are easily controlled with a support belt. Various techniques have been advocated for surgical repair. Fascial repair alone should no longer be performed owing to an unacceptably high recurrence rate, but should be combined with a prosthetic mesh. Relocation of the stoma should be performed for primary repairs.
