Lap-re-Do Keyhole versus Lap-re-Do Sugarbaker techniques in large parastomal hernia repair: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To review the safety and efficacy of Lap-re-Do technique in the treatment of large parastomal hernia. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the recurrence and complications of 81 patients with large parastomal hernia who underwent Lap-re-Do technique in Huashan Hospital of Fudan University from May 2010 to December 2019. And the patients should be able to complete follow-up. With such criteria, we included 40 Lap-re-Do Keyhole patients and 41 Lap-re-Do Sugarbaker patients. Observation time was defined as time to recurrence, death, or last nonevent visit. RESULTS: In large parastomal hernias, Lap-re-Do had a recurrence rate of 25.9% and complication rate of 16.0%, and reoperation rate of 9.9% during the average follow-up time of 41.1 ± 17.8 months. Recurrence rates were 40% (16/40) after Lap-re-Do Keyhole repair and 12.2% (5/41) after Lap-re-Do Sugarbaker repair. Complication rates were 12.5% after Lap-re-Do keyhole and 19.5% after Lap-re-Do Sugarbaker repair Re-operation rates referred to Lap-re-Do keyhole repair were 15% and Lap-re-Do Sugarbaker repair 4.9% during follow-up.The majority of reoperations were indicated by recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Large parastomal hernias are still difficult to be treated. Lap-re-Do Sugarbaker is recommended as an appropriate procedure to close the hernia ring, removing the lengthy colostomy, and effectively reduce recurrence and complication rates.
