Symptomatic gastric involvement in a parastomal hernia: uncommon presentation.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients presenting with obstructive symptoms, one should be aware of a possible gastric outlet obstruction because of its involvement in a PSH, although sporadic. Surgery might be considered as the treatment of choice because conservative treatment mostly fails. Earlier surgery might perhaps also reduce postoperative hospital stay and gastroparesis.
