Surgical Management of Parastomal Hernias.

Surgical Management of Parastomal Hernias. Surg Clin North Am. 2018 Jun;98(3):577-592 Authors: Colvin J, Rosenblatt S Abstract Parastomal hernias are a common complication after ostomy formation that can require surgical repair when they become symptomatic. Operative planning and a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the abdominal wall are important. Simple fascial repair is associated with an unacceptably high recurrence rate and should be used as a temporary measure only. Stoma relocation has a high recurrence rate. Prophylactic mesh can and should be used. At this time, the use of mesh is considered the standard of care in the repair of parastomal hernias. PMID: 29754623 [PubMed - in process]
