[Laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernia].
Parastomal hernias are a common complication after stoma formation. An exact evaluation of the history of the patients reveals clinically impairing symptoms in the majority of patients. The surgical treatment should generally be based on the augmentation or even replacement of the abdominal wall by non-resorbable meshes. The laparoscopic repair can be performed using the intraperitoneal placement of a mesh according to Sugarbaker with a wide lateralization of the stoma loop, the keyhole-technique, which means an incised mesh placed around the stoma loop, or the combination of both techniques (sandwich-technique). By far the best results can be achieved with the sandwich-technique. The recurrence rate in our series is less than 3% with an acceptable complication rate. The literature demonstrates high recurrence rates after keyhole-repair and the Sugarbaker-technique was also shown to be ineffective by our own data. In summary the laparoscopic sandwich-technique is a technically challenging but very successful method for long-lasting repair of parastomal hernias leading to an astonishingly low recurrence rate.
