Abstract | Parastomal hernia represents a common complication of colostomy formation. Surgical techniques such as facial repair and stoma relocation have almost been abandoned because of high recurrence rates. Extraperitoneal prosthetic mesh repair had better results but was accompanied by high rates of mesh contamination. A new technique, with intraperitoneal onlay position of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) was therefore established. We report herein two cases of symptomatic large parastomal hernias treated in our department. |
