Incidence and Risk Factors of Parastomal Hernia in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit Diversion

Abstract

We demonstrated that parastomal hernia will develop in nearly a third of patients after radical cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion. Prior laparotomy and severe obesity are independent risk factors. Preoperative counseling and preventative measures regarding parastomal hernia formation should be emphasized, particularly in these at risk patients.
