Abstract:
Parastomal hernia is not an uncommon complication after stoma formation. Although there are a variety of open surgical techniques, rates of morbidity, recurrence and complications are high. Nowadays, with improvements in techniques and equipment, laparoscopic surgery is being increasingly used in every field of surgery. Herein, we present a case study of a patient suffering from a large parastomal hernia who underwent a laparoscopic hernia repair. A 71-year-old man who had undergone an abdominoperineal resection for an adenocarcinoma of the rectum 5 years ago was admitted to our hospital for a large parastomal hernia, which was repaired by using a laparoscopic approach with Gore-Tex and protack (auto-suture(R), USA). We found the laparoscopic approach for a large parastomal hernia to be technically feasible and to be a good alternative to conventional open surgery with the advantage of minimal invasivess.
