A rare cause of parastomal hernia: stomach herniation

J D McAllister et al. South Med J. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

Our case of a parastomal hernia is rare because the stomach became incarcerated in the hernial sac. The diagnosis of parastomal hernia is not a difficult one, but one must be aware of the possible complications of the colostomy and the rare occurrence of the parastomal hernia containing the stomach.
