Repair of Paracolostomy Hernias With a Prosthetic Mesh in the Intraperitoneal Onlay Position: Modified Sugarbaker Technique

Abstract

Patients with symptomatic paracolostomy hernias or a combination of abdominal wall defects should properly be managed surgically with an intraperitoneally placed mesh that covers all hernias. Our results, with a recurrence rate of only 15 percent for the parastomal site and 20 percent for combined defects, support this approach.
