[The surgical treatment of the parastomal hernia using prolene mesh].
Parastomal herniation is a frequent complication in enterostomy. The therapeutic strategy consists in three approaches: local fascial repair, relocation of the stoma, local repair of the parietal defect using nonabsorbable meshes. In our clinic between 1997-2002 we used monofilament meshes placed in sublay position at four patients with parastomal herniation. At three patients we used midline laparotomy placing the mesh round the colostomy on preperitoneal space, after preparing the hernia sack. The size of the mesh goes beyond the parastomal parietal defect with 3-5 cm. At the fourth patient we placed the mesh round the preperitoneal segment of the colon using a combined intraperitoneal and parastomal procedure, the size of the mesh going beyond parastomal parietal defect in this case too with 3-5 cm. The immediately and delayed results was favorable.


CONCLUSIONS
The parastomal herniation's surgical repair applying prolen mesh can be a therapeutic alternative with good results.
