Parastomal hernia can be a difficult clinical scenario to manage and a significant technical challenge to repair. The reported incidence of parastomal hernia formation varies depending on type of ostomy created. Reported rates vary between 6% for loop ileostomy and 48% for end colostomy. Indications for repair include parastomal or abdominal pain, obstructive symptoms and appliance failure. Techniques for repair include direct closure of parastomal defects, mesh repair and relocation. These techniques will be presented for discussion.
