Abstract

Cholecystic parastomal herniation is a rare condition that has only been documented 16 times in the literature. We present a case report and literature review of cholecystic parastomal herniation managed with diagnostic laparoscopy without cholecystectomy or hernia repair. Furthermore, we assess the demographics, presentation, stoma types, and management of cholecystic parastomal hernias across all documented cases.

Keywords: cholecystectomy; cholelithiasis; gallbladder; hernia repair; parastomal hernia.
