  • Title: Technique of parastomal hernia repair using synthetic mesh.
    Author: Franks ME, Hrebinko RL.
    Journal: Urology; 2001 Mar; 57(3):551-3. PubMed ID: 11248639.
    Abstract:
    We describe a reliable and simple technique of parastomal hernia repair using primary fascial repair with synthetic mesh that minimizes the known complications of infection and stomal stenosis while eliminating the need for peritoneal exploration, lysis of adhesions, and relocation of the stoma. We applied this technique to 6 patients (aged 65 to 83 years) with symptomatic, first-time parastomal hernias. The results are discussed.
