Abstract
A 66-year-old woman was referred because of a symptomatic parastomal hernia. Five years previously, a Hartmann’s procedure had been performed due to acute diverticulitis with perforation and peritonitis. She complained of pain, brought about by stretching of the abdominal wall, a poor fitting of the appliance resulting in leakage, and having peristomal skin irritation. Furthermore, she reported having cosmetic problems. Her quality of life had severely decreased since the hernia had become symptomatic.
