Abstract

Several surgical procedures have been described for the repair of paracolostomal hernia. We describe a local technique approach using stoma relocation with insertion of a Dacron prosthesis. Among 14 patients operated on for paracolostomal hernia, this technique was used in 10 patients. There was no mortality or morbidity (no prosthesis infection). During follow-up there was one recurrence, which was reoperated with a good final result. This technique can be recommended for the few patients in whom a surgical repair is mandated.

Résumé

La relative tolérance des hernies paracolostomiales, dont certaines sont cependant invalidantes, la notion de rédicives fréquentes après traitements chirurgicaux les plus divers font que peu de patients sont traités chirurgicalement. Les auteurs décirivent, à propos d'une expérience de 14 patients, une technique de cure de hernie parastomiale par changement de site de la colostomie associée à l'insertion d'une prosthèse de Dacron perforée. Dans le suivi, il n'y a eu ni morbidité (en particulier pas d'infection de prothèse), ni mortalité. Il y a eu une récidive, réopérée par le même procédé, avec un bon résultat final. Cette technique peut être recommandée pour le lot de patients porteurs de hernies paracolostomiales invalidantes ou gênantes.

Resumen

Varios procedimientos quirúrgicos han sido descritos para la reparation de la hernia paracolostomal. Los autores describen una técnica local que utiliza la reubicación del estoma con inserción de una prótesis de Dacrón; la técnica fue utilizada en 10 de un total de 14 pacientes operados por hernia paracolostomal. No hubo mortalidad ni morbilidad (no se presentó infección de la prótesis). En el curso del seguimiento, se presentó una recurrencia, que fue reoperada con buen resultado final. La técnica puede ser recomendada para los pocos pacientes en quienes es mandatoria la reparación quirúrgica.
