ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different surgical methods for repairing a condition called parastomal hernia (PSH). PSH happens when tissue pushes through the abdominal wall near a stoma, an opening created for waste to leave the body. The two methods being compared are called the Sugarbaker technique and the Keyhole repair. Researchers want to find out which method is safer and more effective, especially in patients from East Asia. They will look back at patients who had these surgeries between August 2012 and August 2022 to see how many experienced a recurrence of the hernia within a year after their surgery.

To be eligible for this study, patients must have been diagnosed with PSH and received either the Sugarbaker or Keyhole repair methods. However, those who had other types of hernia repairs or did not have a follow-up period of at least one year will not be included. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide important information about the best surgical options for treating parastomal hernias, which can help improve care for future patients.
