Parastomal hernias continue to be a significant clinical problem. Use of a synthetic material results in the best results of treatment of this pathology. However, treatment results are still unsatisfactory. The aim of the study is to present 6 cases of late complications of treatment of parastomal hernia using synthetic material, with successful surgical treatment.
Material and methods: Among 52 surgical procedures of parastomal hernia repair using a synthetic material, 6 patients underwent late reoperation, including 4 women. Six reoperations were performed due to complications of parastomal hernia repair.
Results: All cases of reoperation are presented and discussed in the study in order in which parastomal hernia repair procedures were performed.
Conclusions: Presentation of 6 cases of patients treated for complications of the parastomal hernia repair procedure indicates that surgical technique of repair of this pathology is far from being perfect, although there has been a significant progress in this area over the past 20 years.
