- Parastomal hernias remains a cause of significant morbidity.
- Laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernias reduces the risk of recurrence as compared to open surgery.
- The use of composite mesh remains controversial in the repair of parastomal hernias mainly due to risk of infection.
- Prophylactic repair of parastomal hernia is an upcoming and very promising technique for prevention of parastomal hernias.
- Our experience with the use of a composite mesh both for repair and prophylaxis of parstomal hernias shows minimal risk of infection.
AimsThe use of synthetic meshes in potentially infected operative fields such as in the vicinity of large bowel, is controversial. This study describes our experience with the use of a synthetic composite mesh for prophylaxis and repair of parastomal hernias.MethodsData were collected retrospectively over a 7-year period from 2008 to 2015. An IPOM (DynaMeshâ¢) was used either during the formation of the stoma to reinforce the abdominal wall around the stoma or during the surgical repair of existing parastomal hernias, using keyhole or sandwich technique. Majority of meshes were placed laparoscopically. Clinical data and outcomes any stoma wound complications were collected.ResultsForty seven patients were included with a male to female ratio of 34:13. Median age was 66 years (38-91 years) with median follow-up of 17 months (3-73 months). Twenty seven patients had a prophylactic mesh placement (PMP) around colostomy after resection of colorectal cancer. None of these patients had any wound complications. Twenty patients had repair of parastomal hernias (RPH). One patient (1/20) in this group had a superficial wound infection around the stoma site and underwent an incision and drainage. One patient developed seroma and one had parastomal wound haematoma.ConclusionsThe use of a composite synthetic mesh using a laparoscopic IPOM technique for the prophylaxis and treatment of parastomal hernias, even in a clean contaminated surgical field, is safe and feasible.
