ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of parastomal hernia in patients with permanent colostomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conduc-ted. The clinicopathological data of 72 patients with permanent colostomy in the Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to June 2020 were collected. There were 50 males and 22 females, aged (66±12)years. Observations indicators: (1) follow-up; (2) analysis of factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia; (3) comparison of the incidence of parastomal hernia in patients with different age. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination. Patients were followed up once every 12 months after surgery to detect the incidence of parastomal hernia up to September 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers and percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the parastomal hernia occurrence curve and calculate the incidence rate of parastomal hernia and Log-rank test was used to analyze the incidence of parastomal hernia. Results:(1) Follow-up. All 72 patients were followed up for 23(range, 12?76)months. During the follow-up, there were 31 patients developed parastomal hernia, with the incidence as 20.8%(15/72), 36.1%(26/72) and 43.1%(31/72) at postoperative 1 year, postoperative 2 year and postoperative 5 year, respectively. Of the 31 patients with parastomal hernia, there were 21 cases of type Ⅰ, 3 cases of type Ⅱ and 7 cases of type Ⅲ. Patients with parastomal hernia recovered with conservative treatment. (2) Analysis of factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia. Results of univariate analysis showed that age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness were related factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia ( χ2=7.98, t=?2.95, 2.02, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness were independent factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia ( odds ratio=4.07, 3.19, 0.07, 95% confidence interval as 1.46?11.32, 1.43?7.09, 0.01?0.84, P<0.05). (3) Comparison of the incidence of parastomal hernia in patients with different age. Of the 72 patients, there were 37 cases with age <65 years and 35 cases with age >65 years. Of the 31 patients with parastomal hernia, there were 10 cases with age<65 years and all of them with type Ⅰ parastomal hernia, and the incidence of parastomal hernia in postoperative 1 year and postoperative 2 year was 13.5%(5/37) and 27.0%(10/37), respectively. There were 21 cases with age ≥65 years and cases with type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ parastomal hernia were 11, 3 and 7, respectively. The postoperative 1 year and postoperative 2 year incidence of parastomal hernia in the 21 cases was 28.6%(10/35) and 45.7%(16/35), respectively. There was a significant difference in the incidence of parastomal hernia between patients<65 years and ≥65 years ( χ2=9.28, P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness are independent factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application value of ambulatory surgery mode for small and medium abdominal wall hernia repair.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 33 patients with small and medium abdominal wall hernia who were admitted to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2019 to January 2021 were collected. There were 19 males and 14 females, aged 54(range, 26?85)years. Patients individually underwent Onlay repair, Sublay repair, intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM)according to the diagnosis and treatment mode of ambulatory surgery. Observation indicators: catogaries of small and medium abdominal wall hernia, surgical methods, intraoperative measured diameter of hernia ring defect, operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of hospital stay, delayed discharge of patients, hospitalization expenses, postoperative follow-up, complications, postoperative visual analogue scale of pain, chronic pain, postoperative satisfaction. Follow-up using telephone interview or outpatient examinations was conducted to detect hernia recurrence, surgical-related complications (wound infection, pain, hematoma or seroma, intestinal leakage, intestinal obstruction) and postoperative satisfaction at postoperative 3 days, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and count data were represented as absolute numbers. Results:Of the 33 patients, 16 cases had umbilical hernia, 14 cases had incisional hernia, 3 cases had lumbar hernia. There were 7 patients treated with Onlay repair, 16 with Sublay repair, and 10 cases with IPOM. The intraoperative measured diameter of hernia ring defect, operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 33 patients were 2.8(range, 1.0?6.0)cm, 51(range, 20?85)minutes, 4.3(range, 1.0?10.0)mL. The duration of hospital stay of 33 patients was 24?48 hours, including 25 cases with duration of hospital stay ≤24 hours, 8 cases with duration of hospital stay >24 hours and ≤48 hours. Of the 8 patients undergoing IPOM with delayed discharge, 5 cases had postoperative pain and 3 cases had dizziness, nausea and vomiting after general anesthesia. They were recovered and discharged from hospital after observation and symptomatic support until the next morning. The hospitalization expenses were 17 139(range, 6404?34 124)yuan. All the 33 patients were followed up regularly after operation. No hernia recur-rence, wound infection, hematoma and seroma, intestinal fistula or intestinal obstruction was observed during the follow-up period. From postoperative 3 days to 12 months, the visual analogue scale of pain was from 2.90±0.10 to 0 for patients with Onlay repair, from 3.10 ±0.10 to 0 for patients with Sublay repair, from 3.50 ±0.20 to 0 for patients with IPOM. No patient suffered from chronic pain after the operation and postoperative satisfaction of patients was 100%. Conclusion:The ambulatory surgery mode has safety and feasibility in small and medium abdominal wall hernia repair.
ABSTRACT
Due to the high incidence and postoperative high recurrence rate, parastomal hernia is one of the most difficult ventral hernias for clinical treatment. Currently, there are numerous of surgical options for the treatment of parastomal hernia, including suture repair, stoma relocation, onlay mesh repair through hernia ring, stoma relocation combined with sublay mesh prophylactic and repairing, Sugarbaker technique repair and its modified operation, Keyhole technique repair and its modified operation, Sandwich technique repair and hybrid surgery. However, none of them could achieve a satisfactory efficacy of low recurrence rate and few complications. With the increasing application of enhanced view-totally extraperitoneal technique in ventral hernia, laparoscopic extraperitoneal parastomal hernia repair has been applied and explored in clinical practice. There are contrary results in clinical studies on whether the prophylatic mesh placement can reduce the incidence of parastomal hernia. Hence, the treatment and prevention of parastomal hernia is still a long-term and arduous task in the field of abdominal wall defect repair, which needs to be further explored and verified by more high-quality and meaningful clinical studies.
ABSTRACT
With the great improvement of living and material conditions in China, obesity concomitant with hernia and abdominal wall diseases become very common. As the particularities of obesity and associated metabolic diseases, a series of pathophysiological changes caused by obesity will significantly affect the treatment of hernia and abdominal wall diseases. In the authors' opinions, accurately evaluation the severity of obesity and associated metabolic diseases and effec-tively controlling are important prerequisites for determining the timing of surgery and surgical planning. Weight loss before surgery is the basic principle of the treatment and immediate or staged individualized surgical treatment is the guarantee of the successful treatment for obesity patients with hernia and abdominal wall disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish a program for the prevention and management of parastomal hernia in patients with ostomy.Methods:Based on literature analysis and clinical needs, combined with the individual and family self-management theory (IFSMT), a preliminary plan for prevention and management of parastomal hernia was developed with the framework of case management model. Sixteen experts were selected for two rounds of Delphi expert consultations to analyze and screen indicators at all levels to calculate the expert′s positive coefficient, authority coefficient and coordination coefficient to analyze the credibility of expert consultation results.Results:The effective recovery rates of the two rounds of expert letter inquiries were 88.89% and 100.00%, the authoritative coefficients were 0.825 and 0.844, and the two rounds of Kendall′s W values were 0.221 and 0.269, which were statistically significant( P<0.01). The concentration of indicators is high. Finally, a programe for parastomal hernia prevention and management based on the self-management theory of individual and family consisting of 6 first-level indicators,16 second-level indicators and 42 third-level indicators was obtained. Conclusion:The programe for prevention and management of parastomal hernia based on individual and family self-management theory has high reliability and scientificity, and can provide a basis for the study of parastomal hernia prevention and management.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application value of DynaMesh-IPST stoma dedicated mesh in parastomal hernia repair.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinical data of 281 patients with parastomal hernia of abdominal wall who were admitted to Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital of Capital Medical University between March 2013 and April 2017 were collected.Of 281 patients undergoing laparoscopic combined with open parastomal hernia repair with artificial materials,151 using DynaMesh-IPST stoma dedicated mesh and 130 using ordinary anti-adhesive mesh were respectively allocated into the DynaMesh-lPST mesh group and ordinary mesh group.Observation indicators:(1) intra-and post-operative situations;(2) follow-up.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect hernia recurrence and long-term complications at 1-,3-,6-month and 1 year postoperatively up to June 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s and comparison between groups was done by the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (P25,P75) and M (range),and comparison between groups was done using rank sum test.Comparison of count data between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test.Results (1) Intra-and post-operative situations:281 patients underwent successfully laparoscopic combined with open parastomal hernia repair with artificial materials.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and duration of postoperative hospital stay were 100 minutes (60 minutes,120 minutes),(34± 15)mL,17 days (13 days,24 days) in the DynaMesh-IPST mesh group and 100 minutes (85 minutes,120 minutes),(42± 36)mL and 20 days (16 days,25 days) in the ordinary mesh group,with statistically significant differences between groups (Z=2.166,t=2.654,Z=2.795,P＜0.05).The postoperative incisional infection and intestinal leakage were respectively detected in 18 and 2 patients in the DynaMesh-IPST mesh group and 36 and 7 patients in the ordinary mesh group,showing a statistically significant difference of incisional infection between groups (x2 =11.194,P＜0.05),and no statistically significant difference of intestinal leakage between groups (x2 =4.234,P＞ 0.05).Of 54 patients with postoperative incisional infection,4 were cured after removing mesh and clearing up infection,50 were cured after dressing change,local debridement and drainage.(2) Follow-up:279 of 281 patients including 149 in the DynaMesh-IPST mesh group and 130 in the ordinary mesh group were followed up for 20-44 months with a median time of 32 months.During the follow-up,10 patients had hernia recurrence including 4 in the DynaMesh-IPST mesh group and 6 in the ordinary mesh group.Six of them underwent reoperation (4 with keyhole hernia recurrence,1 with mesh bulging out because of abdominal weakness at stoma,1 with parastomal recurrence after mesh removal due to intestinal leakage) and 4 had regular reexamination after fixation with abdominal belt.There was no statistically significant difference of hernia recurrence between groups (x2 =0.318,P＞0.05).Twenty-seven patients (14 in the DynaMesh-IPST mesh group and 13 in the ordinary mesh group) with intestinal obstruction were improved by conservative treatment,showing no statistically significant difference between groups (x2 =0.043,P＞0.05).Ten patients (6 in the DynaMesh-IPST mesh group and 4 in the ordinary mesh group) with stoma stenosis were improved after local stoma remodeling,showing no statistically significant difference between groups (x2=0.007,P＞ 0.05).Ninteen patients (4 in the DynaMesh-IPST mesh group including 1 complicated with hernia recurrence and 15 in the ordinary mesh group including 2 complicated with hernia recurrence) with stoma prolapse were improved after local stoma remodeling,showing a statistically significant difference between groups (x2 =8.756,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Parastomal hernia repair with DynaMesh-IPST stoma dedicated mesh is safe and feasible,with satisfactory effects.
ABSTRACT
Prevention and surgical treatment of parastomal hernia remain a major challenge to surgeons.The effects of traditional non-operative and surgical treatment would likely be few, but the application of surgical technique which places a prophylactic mesh at the primary operation is bringing down the incidence of parastomal hernia in recent years.Due to a high recurrence rate of parastomal hernia after traditional in or ex situ tissues repair, the short-term outcomes of surgical treatment for parastomal hernia have significantly been improved by using prosthetic mesh, while the long-term outcomes are uncertain and needed for further investigation.
ABSTRACT
The rate of parastomal hernia reported varies from 5% to 80%. It forms when the abdominal wall defect is continually stretched by the tangential forces applied along the circumference of the abdominal wall opening. The presence of parastomal hernia along with intraperitoneal ascending colon, caecum and terminal ileum along with ileal perforation is a rare entity.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological incidence of parastomal hernia. METHODS: We reviewed, retrospectively, 83 patients with end colostomy operated on from January 2003 to June 2009 at Ajou University hospital. Age, sex, surgical procedure type, body mass index (weight/length2), stoma size, and respiratory co-morbidity were documented. We compared the incidence of radiological and clinical parastomal hernia. RESULTS: There were 47 males (56.6%) and 36 females (43.4%). During an overall median follow-up of 30 months (range, 6 to 45 months), 24 patients (28.9%) developed a radiological parastomal hernia postoperatively and 20 patients (24.1%) presented clinical symptoms. Using computed tomography (CT) classification, the groups were as follows: type 0 (40, 48.2%), type Ia (19, 22.9%), type Ib (8, 9.6%), type II (4, 4.8%) and type III (12, 14.5%), with 63 asymptomatic patients and 20 symptomatic patients. The aperture size was significantly different between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (76.45 mm vs. 49.41 mm; P = 0.000). There was a significant correlation between aperture size and the radiological type (P = 0.003). CONCLUSION: This study showed the incidence of radiological parastomal hernia is acceptable compared to previous studies. CT classification may be useful to evaluate parastomal hernia.

PURPOSE: Parastomal hernia is a major complication of an intestinal stoma. This study was performed to compare the results of various operative methods to treat parastomal hernias. METHODS: Results of surgical treatment for parastomal hernias (postoperative recurrence, complications and postoperative hospital stays) were surveyed in 39 patients over an 11-year period. The patients enrolled in this study underwent surgery by a single surgeon to exclude surgeon bias. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were male, and twenty-two patients were female. The mean age was 65.9 years (range, 36 to 86 years). The stomas were 35 sigmoid-end-colostomies (90%), 2 loop-colostomies (5%), and 2 double-barrel-colostomies. Over half of the hernias developed within two years after initial formation. Stoma relocation was performed in 8 patients, suture repair in 14 patients and mesh repair in 17 patients. Seven patients had recurrence of the hernia, and ten patients suffered from complications. Postoperative complications and recurrence were more frequent in stoma relocation than in suture repair and mesh repair. Emergency operations were performed in four patients (10.3%) with higher incidence of complications but not with increased risk of recurrence. Excluding emergency operations, complications of relocations were not higher than those of mesh repairs. Postoperative hospital stays were shortest in mesh repair patients. CONCLUSION: In this study, mesh repair showed low recurrence and a low complication rate with shorter hospital stay than relocation methods, though these differences were not statistically significant. Further studies, including randomized trials, are necessary if more reliable data on the surgical treatment of parastomal hernias are to be obtained.

The authors report a case of a parastomal hernia that incarcerated a wandering spleen. We present a very rare case of an 85-year-old woman with a giant parastomal hernia. Computed tomography revealed a parastomal hernia with a wandering spleen inside. We introduce a different and simple alternative approach, with the smallest inconvenience as possible to solve the trouble. We carried out the treatment with a prosthetic repair closing the defect with ePTFE mesh, performed through a laparoscopic approach, intraperitoneal, like a tie and move the spleen back to its anatomical place. The result was excellent.
ABSTRACT
O surgimento da hérnia paraestomal é uma conseqüência direta da confecção do estoma. Apesar de todos os esforços empregados na sua prevenção, a freqüência é bastante elevada e aumenta com o tempo. As alternativas de cura dessa afecção são todas cirúrgicas e várias técnicas foram propostas. Nesse artigo apresentamos uma breve revisão das alternativas operatórias que já foram apresentadas e apresentamos a técnica que empregamos. Desenvolvemos uma abordagem por videolaparoscopia com a colocação de uma tela intraperitoneal denominada nó de gravata. Em nossa série de 17 pacientes observamos bons resultados sem nenhuma recidiva até o momento.
The parastomal hernia is a direct consequence of making the stoma. Although all the efforts used in its prevention, this condition is a frequent long-term complication that increases with time. Management of the hernia is always surgical and different techniques have been proposed. In this article, the authors present a brief revision of the surgical treatment and present their own technique. The defect is assessed by videolaparoscopy and correction is performed with an intraperitoneal mesh; we call this technique "tie knot". In our 17 patients' series, we observed good results and no recurrence until now.

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.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic mesh repair of parastomal hernia. Methods Laparoscopic mesh repair was performed in 7 patients with parasromal hernia from September 2004 to December 2005 in this hospital.Results Laparoscopic mesh herniorrhaphy was successfully performed in 6 patients, while a conversion to open herniorrhaphy was required in 1 patient because of extensive intraperitoneal adhesion. The operating time was 45~180 mi (mean, 109 min), and the hernial diameter was 4~6 cm (mean, 5.6 cm). Transient abdominal distention happened in 2 patients. Five patients complained of a pain in operative area within 3 weeks. Seroma occurred in 4 patients and was cured by needle aspiration and pressure bandaging for 2~ 4 times. No hematoma or surgery-related infection was seen. The length of postoperative hospital stay was 3~8 d (mean, 5.1 d). Postoperative follow-up for 2~15 months (mean, 8.3 months) revealed no recurrence. Conclusions Laparoscopic mesh repair of parastomal hernia is safe, effective, and feasible.
ABSTRACT
A parastomal hernia is an incisional hernia in relation to an intestinal stoma on the abdominal wall and a common complication after stoma formation. Most parastomal hernias are relatively asymptomatic, but sometimes, a loop of bowel may become trapped in the sac, resulting in obstruction or strangulation. We reported a case with a para-colostomy hernia causing small bowel obstruction in a 45-years-old female who had had a transverse loop colostomy for severe rectovaginal fistula 2 years before due to recurrent cervix cancer. The patient required resection of gangrenous portions of small bowel and large bowel. A review of the preventative information of parastomal hernia and management is discussed. A parastomal hernia shonld be considered as a cause of small bowel obstruction in anyone who has a stoma. Early detection and repair of the strangulated hernia are recommended.
