Abstract | Parastomal hernia is the most frequent complication of colostomy. Many surgical techniques have been postulated and prosthetic surgery seems to represents the first-choice treatment. The aim of this study is to report the surgical treatment of 4 patients that developed parastomal hernia, 3-10 months after abdominoperineal excision of the rectum and permanent sigmoidostomy due to carcinoma of the rectum. The repair was made with the use of polypropylene mesh extraperitoneally. One case of limited skin necrosis occurred without any serious consequences. No recurrence has been recorded among the patients, up to this day (follow-up period: 36 months). In conclusion, the suturing of fascial defect and the use of polypropylene mesh extraperitoneally is effective in the treatment of parastomal hernia. |
