Parastomal hernias

Abstract: Parastomal hernia is a common complication of stoma formation, having an incidence of about 10%. As with many other ostomy-associated complications, most parastomal hernias are related to inadequate pre-operative planning or technical errors. Most of these hernias should be managed conservatively; only 10-20% of patients eventually require operative intervention. When an operation is indicated, relocating the stoma generally yields better long-term results than does an attempt at local repair of the hernia.

“…Risk factors for PH are similar to those observed for other hernias of the abdominal wall, including obesity, weight gain after ostomy creation, advanced age, malnutrition, increased intra-abdominal pressure, long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs, chronic lung disease, malignancy, history of large hernias, emergency operation and postoperative infection [1]. Risk of recurrence is also higher in these patients.…”

“…La Sociedad Europea de Hernia (EHS, por sus siglas en inglés) la define como una protrusión anormal del contenido de la cavidad abdominal a través de un defecto de la pared abdominal creado durante la realización de una colostomía o ileostomía 2 . Es una complicación frecuente 1,3 y, según algunos autores, inevitable 4 . Tiene una elevada prevalencia (entre 0 % y 56 % según la bibliografía publicada 3,5,6 ), pero es difícil estimar su prevalencia real por el uso de definiciones 6,7,8,9 y criterios diagnósticos diferentes en función del grupo 7,8,9 .…”

“…1 Parastomal hernia (PH), defined as an "incisional hernia related to an abdominal wall stoma", is one of the most frequent complications following stoma formation and has a negative impact on quality of life after RC. [2][3][4] Its incidence varies widely depending on the definition used, the length of follow-up, and whether the diagnosis is made clinically or radiographically. 4 Up to 30% of patients with PH require surgical intervention, most commonly due to discomfort, poor fit of the ostomy appliance, or rarely due to obstruction, bowel perforation, or strangulation.…”
