Para‐ileostomy hernia: Failure of a local repair technique

Different techniques of local repair of para‐ileostomy herniae have been recommended by a number of authors, but without report of long‐term outcome. Two patients presenting electively with symptomatic para‐ileostomy herniae are reported. A local repair technique was used in each case because of severe (coexisting) medical disease, but both herniae recurred within 2 years. It is considered that local repair without stomal transposition cannot be recommended. The literature is reviewed.
