Parastomal HerniaRepair
Parastomal hernias develop near a stoma. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers expert repair in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
What Is a Parastomal Hernia?
A parastomal hernia occurs when the bowel or abdominal contents bulge through the abdominal wall around a stoma (colostomy or ileostomy). It is common after stoma surgery and can cause pain, difficulty with the appliance, or complications. Repair can be challenging and is best done by an experienced surgeon.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Common symptoms include a bulge around the stoma, pain, difficulty fitting the stoma bag, and skin irritation. Diagnosis is usually by examination; CT may be used to assess size and plan surgery. We recommend evaluation to discuss repair options.
When Surgery Is Needed
Surgery may be recommended when the hernia causes significant symptoms, appliance problems, or risk of obstruction. Not all parastomal hernias need surgery; we assess each patient and discuss the benefits and risks of repair.
Surgical Options
We offer open and laparoscopic parastomal hernia repair. Mesh is often used to reinforce the repair. In some cases, stoma relocation may be considered. Dr. Sharad Sharma will recommend the best approach for your anatomy and needs.
