Data were analysed using a computer programme SPSS 24.0 version. Result: the mean age of the respondents was 56.73±7.72 years. About 80% were male. The mean BMI was 25±5.5. About 16.7% had Parastomal Hernia and 8.3% had midline Incisional Hernia. 3 patients at 4th week and 1 patient at 3rd month had surgical site infection.
