Therapeutic effect of a new hybrid technique which combined laparoscopic method and abdominal repair for parastomal hernia repair

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new hybrid technique which combined laparoscopic method and abdominal repair (Dual Lap) for parastomal herniarepair. Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 27 cases who accepted Dual Lap procedure performed at Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, Wuhan Central Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University from January 2010 to January 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The data included 22 male patients and 5 female patients with mean age of 54 years. Of the patients, there were 19 cases of the left hernia and 8 cases of the right hernia, without ostomy hernia repair history. There were 4 cases of the occult hernial defects during the operation. There were 8 patients with ilealneobladder, 2 patients with ileostomyafter total colectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis, 3 patients with ileostomy and 14 patients with colostomy for ulcerative colitis. Results All cases underwent hybrid technique successfully. The mean operation time was (108±16) minutes(ranging from 90 to 150 minutes) and the diameter of the hernial ring was (6.4±1.8)cm (ranging from 3 to 13 cm). There were no intestinal, kidney and ureteral obstructions in operations. Five cases need to use the analgesic adjuvant at 48-hour after operation. The time of postoperative defecations was (9.3±2.4) days (ranging from 7 to 16 days) and there were no intestinal leakage, local hematoma, wound infection and fat liquefaction after operations. All patients were followed up for (16.3±4.2) months (ranging from 12 to 48 months). There was no ileus, obvious seroma, hernia recurrence, chronic pain and mesh infection. Conclusion The Dual Lap procedureis safe and effective for parastomal hernia repair with less complication. Key words: Hernia, abdominal; Ostomy; Laparoscopy
