Purpose
The purpose of this study was to report and evaluate a laparoscopic surgical technique for the treatment of parastomal hernia (PSH) after ileal conduit urinary diversion aiming to minimize PSH recurrence and perioperative complications.
Methods
We retrospectively evaluated all patients who underwent a PSH (after ileal conduit urinary diversion) repair at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. As a surgical approach, a laparoscopic repair with mesh was utilized in all cases. Subsequently, we performed a voluntary follow-up of the patients to evaluate long-term recurrence and complication rates. In addition, we conducted a reassessment of the cross-sectional imaging available.
Results
Between November 2008 and December 2019, 27 patients underwent hernia repair due to a clinically significant hernia. Out of those patients, one suffered from a post-operative wound infection. In total 23 patients participated in the follow-up with a median follow-up period of 91 months. Follow-up examination revealed two cases of recurrent PSH (8.7% of patients followed up), four patients suffered from minor complications (14.8%).
Conclusion
Repair of PSH associated with ileal conduit is particularly scarce. Our surgical approach presents the only laparoscopic case series of an effective method for treating a PSH from an ileal conduit with a low complication and recurrence rate.
