This is a non-randomised case-controlled prospective study of consecutive patients with parastomal hernia, comparing the laparoscopic Keyhole repair with the modified Sugarbaker repair.
Full description
Objective: To compare the laparoscopic Keyhole repair with the modified Sugarbaker repair in a nonrandomised case-controlled prospective study of consecutive patients with parastomal hernia.
Summary Background Data: Two reviews of uncontrolled studies concluded that the Sugarbaker repair is superior to the Keyhole repair. The present study challenges the claim.
Methods: In two time periods 135 patients with a parastomal hernia were repaired with the Keyhole technique (74 patients, using a two-layer mesh of polypropylene and ePTFE with a self-cut slit, 1997- 2009) or the Sugarbaker technique (61 patients, using a coated polypropylene mesh, 2009-2015). The patients in the two groups matched with regard to age, gender, ASA score, colostomy or ileostomy hernia, previous repairs, size of fascial defect and simultaneous repair of a concurrent incisional hernia. Observation time was defined as time to recurrence, stoma re-siting, mesh removal, death, or last non-event visit
