Parastomal Hernia Repair with a 3D Funnel Intraperitoneal Mesh Device and Same-Sided Stoma Relocation: Results of 56 Cases
Abstract
Background
Parastomal hernias (PSHs) are a common and challenging issue. In previous studies, three-dimensional (3D) funnel mesh devices have been used successfully for the repair of PSHs.
Methods
We performed an analysis of prospectively collected data of patients who underwent a same-sided stoma reposition with 3D funnel-shaped mesh augmentation in intraperitoneal (IPOM) position at our department between the years of 2012 and 2015. Primary outcome parameters were intra- and postoperative surgical complications and recurrence rate during the follow-up period.
Results
Fifty-six patients could be included in this analysis. PSH repair was performed in 89.3% as elective surgery and in 73% in laparoscopic technique. A concomitant incisional hernia (EHS type 2 and 4) was found in 50% and repaired in a single-step procedure with PSH. Major postoperative complications requiring redo surgery (Clavien–Dindo ≥3b) were identified in 8.9% (5/56). Overall recurrence rate was 12.5% (7/56). Median follow-up time was 38 months, and a 1-year follow-up rate of 96.4% was reached.
Conclusion
PSH repair with 3D funnel mesh in IPOM technique is safe, efficient and easy to perform in laparoscopic and open surgical approaches providing advantageous results compared to other techniques. Furthermore, simultaneous detection and treatment of concomitant incisional hernias has shown favorable. However, the mesh funnel distends and becomes shortened encasing a bulky bowel mesentery and further shrinkage happens eccentric. Changing mesh construction according to lengthening the funnel could possibly lead to reduction in recurrence.
