Abstract

Background

Nearly 50% of patients with an ostomy will develop a parastomal hernia (PSH). Its repair remains a surgical challenge. Both laparoscopic “modified Sugarbaker” (SB) and Keyhole (KH) repair are currently in use, frequently with unsatisfactory results.‘‘Sandwich Repair’’ (SR) may be an alternative to reduce recurrence rates. We present the change of our technique from KH to SR.

Methods

We collected data from all consecutive laparoscopic PSH repairs at our institution from 2004 until now (from 2004 to 2013 treated with KH, from 2014 with SR) and compared the results of the two groups. Primary endpoint was recurrence rate at 1 year. Secondary outcomes were operative time, PO length of hospital stay (LOS), and short and long-term complications.

Results

13 patients underwent SR. Main changes in surgical technique concerned primary defect closure, no stay sutures, use of glue for first mesh fixation, and partial lateral covering of the underlying mesh with a peritoneal flap. Early postoperative course after SR was uneventful and no recurrence at 1 year was recorded. In the KH group (19 patients), short-term complications occurred in two cases (10%), with one parietal hematoma and one case of intensive pain; we had four recurrences at 1 year (21%). LOS was shorter in the SR group (mean 4 days vs 6, p = 0.004). The KH group had 2 (10%) occurrences of chronic seroma and one bowel perforation (5%), while the SR group had one (8%) occurrence of chronic pain. Median follow-up was 26 months (range 13–78) for the SR group and 47 months (12–105) for the KH group.

Conclusion

SR is safe and effective in expert hands and provides promising preliminary results.
