[Application of GORE-TEX Dual Mesh fixing into peritoneum in sigmoid-colostomy to prevent peristomal hernia].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of GORE-TEX Dual Mesh fixing into peritoneum in sigmoid-colostomy on the prevention of peristomal hernia.


METHODS
Sixty patients undergone sigmoid-colostomy from Jan. 2003 to Jan. 2005 in the first affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Patients received papillary sigmoid-colostomy through rectus abdominis and peritoneum in control group and GORE-TEX Dual Mesh fixing into peritoneum during sigmoid-colostomy in observation group. Complications and recurrence rate were recorded in follow-up period.


RESULTS
Peristomal hernia occurred in eight patients (8/30) in control group (26.7%), while no hernia happened in observation group (0/30).


CONCLUSIONS
GORE-TEX Dual Mesh fixing into peritoneum in sigmoid-colostomy can prevent peristomal hernia.
