Comparison of the Sugarbaker and Keyhole Repair for Parastomal Hernia

Parastomal hernia (PSH) is difficult to manage, with high rates of post-operative recurrence and complication. Keyhole and Sugarbaker are the most commonly used techniques in the surgical repair of the PSH. However, the efficacy and safety of the two surgical methods have not been adequately compared in the East Asian population. Patients diagnosed with PSH who underwent Sugarbaker or Keyhole repair from August 2012 to August 2022 will be included. Patient demographic data and postoperative outcomes will be retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome measure is the recurrence rate at one year follow-up time.
