Parastomal hernia
Abstract
Despite advances in surgery including new prosthetic materials and the advent of laparoscopy, the treatment of parastomal hernias remains a challenge for the surgeon. This is mainly due to the very high recurrence rate. Adequate management requires preoperative multidisciplinary consultation to offer the most appropriate surgical solution to each patient. We propose a review of current knowledge about this complication.
