title: Parastomal hernia repair using cross-linked porcine dermis: report of a case.
abstract: Parastomal hernia is not an uncommon complication after colostomy or ileostomy formation, but it may have serious consequences, such as intestinal obstruction and strangulation. Thus, the surgeon must repair the parastomal hernia using a technique that minimizes the chance of recurrence and complications. This case report describes a novel method of parastomal hernia repair using cross-linked acellular porcine dermal collagen matrix, a new biological material suitable for hernia repair.
