  • Title: Parastomal hernias.
    Author: Israelsson LA.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2008 Feb; 88(1):113-25, ix. PubMed ID: 18267165.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of parastomal hernias is probably 30% to 50%. Suture repair of a parastomal hernia or relocation of the stoma results in a high recurrence rate, whereas with mesh repair recurrence rates are lower. Several mesh repair techniques are used in open and laparoscopic surgery, but randomized trials comparing various techniques and with long-term follow-up are needed for better evidence.
