Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and short and long term outcomes following the Sandwich repair for parastomal hernia.
Methods: A prospective single center study including all patients operated with Sandwich repair at St. Olav hospital, Trondheim University hospital from 2018 to 2023.
Results: Fifty four patients were treated with the Sandwich repair. All procedures were performed laparoscopically, with two conversions to open surgery due to adhesions. The median age was 67 years. 44% of the patients were females. Two thirds of the patients had a colostomy. Pain or discomfort was the most frequent indication for parastomal hernia repair, followed by leakage. Median operation time was 149 min. Eight patients were operated in an emergency setting. Six patients had a recurrence after previous surgery for parastomal hernia. Three patients had ClavienDindo complication rate 3b following the Sandwich repair and had their implants removed a few days after index surgery. The median in-hospital time was 5 (2-35) days and the median followup was 33 months (1-61). No recurrences were identified.
Conclusion: The laparoscopic Sandwich repair is a safe methode for most of the parastomal hernia patients. Even with a reasonable long median follow-up, we did not observe any recurrences.
期刊介绍:
Hernia was founded in 1997 by Jean P. Chevrel with the purpose of promoting clinical studies and basic research as they apply to groin hernias and the abdominal wall . Since that time, a true revolution in the field of hernia studies has transformed the field from a ”simple” disease to one that is very specialized. While the majority of surgeries for primary inguinal and abdominal wall hernia are performed in hospitals worldwide, complex situations such as multi recurrences, complications, abdominal wall reconstructions and others are being studied and treated in specialist centers. As a result, major institutions and societies are creating specific parameters and criteria to better address the complexities of hernia surgery.
Hernia is a journal written by surgeons who have made abdominal wall surgery their specific field of interest, but we will consider publishing content from any surgeon who wishes to improve the science of this field. The Journal aims to ensure that hernia surgery is safer and easier for surgeons as well as patients, and provides a forum to all surgeons in the exchange of new ideas, results, and important research that is the basis of professional activity.
