Ileal conduit parastomal hernias.
Of 400 patients who underwent ileal conduit diversion between 1963 and 1972, 18 (4.5 per cent) had parastomal hernias. A poorly fitting appliance was the most common presenting symptom. The hernia was found most often in the superolateral quadrant of the stoma at the site of mesenteric attachment of the conduit. In situ and translocation repairs of the stoma are discussed.
