Parastomal hernia is a complication with high morbidity that affects the patient's quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess the cumulative incidence of parastomal hernia in patients who have undergone colorectal cancer surgery and to identify potential risk factors that could predispose to the development of this type of hernia in a large population-based cohort over a long follow-up period.
