Laparoscopic approach to repair parastomal hernias

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) technique as a modification of the Sugabecker's operation for repairing parastomal hernias. It aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and recurrence rates associated with this minimally invasive surgical approach. A total of 30 patients with symptomatic parastomal hernias will be included, and their outcomes will be compared to those undergoing traditional Sugabecker's operation. Data on operative details, complications, recovery times, and hernia recurrence will be collected and analyzed over a follow-up period of up to 12 months.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of parastomal hernia post-stoma creation surgery;
2. Symptomatic hernias requiring surgical intervention;
3. Able to undergo the surgical approach under general anesthesia;
4. Patients who can provide informed consent.

Non-Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with contraindications to laparoscopic surgery, such as uncontrolled coagulopathies, severe cardiorespiratory conditions, or extensive intra-abdominal adhesions are excluded. Those with ongoing peritonitis, incarcerated hernias requiring urgent care, or malignancy at the hernia site are also excluded.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients unwilling to provide informed consent;
* Patients with a life expectancy less than the study follow-up period;
* Patients who have previously undergone other types of hernia repair, which could confound the operative and postoperative outcomes being measured.
