Modified technique for parastomal hernia repair in patients with intractable stoma‐care problems

Abstract

The modified onlay technique using a large sheet of ePTFE prosthetic mesh is a feasible option for treatment of parastomal hernia recurrence. Possible advantages of the procedure include stoma preservation, strengthening of the abdominal wall, and a reduced risk of recurrence, contamination, fistulization, and bowel adhesions and erosion.
