Abdominal Wall Reconstruction and Parastomal Hernia
from Colorectal Surgery Review · host Allen Kamrava, MD MBA FACS FASCRS
Tackles the inevitable biomechanical failure of parastomal hernias, which eventually affect nearly all permanent stoma patients. It emphasizes strict preoperative optimization goals, including a BMI under 35, an A1C under 8, and absolute smoking cessation. The discussion covers the mechanical superiority of the Sugarbaker mesh drape geometry over the keyhole technique, and explores advanced retromuscular/TAR (Transversus Abdominis Release) approaches utilizing macroporous uncoated synthetic mesh in contaminated fields.
