Question 1

how do you treat a parastomal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: The only treatment for a parastomal hernia is a surgical procedure. There are many techniques, and these tend to be difficult to repair. Probably the "best" method is called the Sugarbaker technique. The stoma is commonly moved to another site, but this usually causes a new hernia, and a hernia at the old site. Make sure the surgeon has ample experience with these hernias before proceeding.

Question 2

how fast is recovery from open surgery for parastomal hernia repair?

Accepted Answer

Parastomal hernia: Recovery from hernia repair is variable based upon many factors such as hernia size, prior operative details, and type of surgery performed.  If possible, the best treatment is to reverse the stoma and repair the hernia site.  If the stoma is permanent, a mesh is often utilized.  If possible, a laparoscopic repair offers many benefits over open repair.  You need to discuss this with a surgeon.
