Methods Prospective study. Between 11/2018 and 7/2022, 43 patients with low rectal cancer underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection and were divided into two groups: study (n = 15) with prophylactic mesh placement with the Sugarbaker technique and control (n = 28). All patients were tracked for at least a year and had an abdominal computed tomography scan. The Kaplan Meier method was used to calculate the rate of parastomal hernia after one year. To compare the rates of parastomal hernia in two groups, the logrank test was used. Results This study included 43 patients; the male to female ratio was approximately equal to 1:1; the median age was 62; the youngest age was 40; and the oldest age was 92. Rectal cancer stage III was found in 41.8% of people. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was used in 27.9% of cases. The average duration of operation was 184 minutes. The average time for mesh placement was 15 minutes. The overall complication rate was 16.4%. There were no issues with mesh placement. At one year, the control group had a higher cumulative rate of parastomal hernia than the study group (35.7% versus 0%, logrank 6.4, p = 0.01). Conclusions Prophylactic mesh placement with the Sugarbaker technique via laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer is safe, does not increase complications, and reduces the cumulative rate of a parastomal hernia at 1 year in patients who have undergone prophylactic mesh placement.","PeriodicalId":12390,"journal":{"name":"Formosan Journal of Surgery","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135853573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
