A modified sublay–keyhole technique for in situ parastomal hernia repair

摘要

The surgical treatment of a parastomal hernia is always challenging due to the high incidence of recurrence following primary repair, or stoma relocation and severe morbidities in prosthetic repair with polypropylene materials. We therefore developed a modified sublay–keyhole technique employing a polypropylene material to minimize the associated high risk of the procedure. We herein describe our initial clinical experience with this modified procedure.
