ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at different surgical methods to repair a condition called parastomal hernia, which can occur in people who have had certain types of surgeries to create a stoma (an opening on the abdomen for waste removal). The study is currently recruiting participants aged 65 to 74 who have a diagnosed parastomal hernia and are experiencing symptoms that require surgery. To take part, individuals must be over 18 years old, have a stoma (like a colostomy or ileostomy), and be able to understand and respond to questionnaires in Swedish.

Participants in the trial will receive one of the surgical treatments being tested and will be monitored for their recovery. It’s important to note that those with certain conditions, such as cognitive impairments or other complications related to their stoma, may not be eligible to join. This study aims to find out which surgical method is more effective, ultimately helping improve care for people with parastomal hernias. If you or someone you know fits the criteria and is interested in participating, it could be a valuable opportunity to contribute to medical knowledge in this area.
