Robotic modified Sugarbaker technique for parastomal hernia repair: a standardized approach.
Updates in Surgery 2024 April 5
Parastomal hernia (PSH) is a prevalent long-term morbidity associated with stoma construction, and the optimal operative management remains uncertain. This study addresses the need for a standardized approach to symptomatic PSH repair, focusing on the robotic-assisted modified Sugarbaker technique with composite permanent mesh. The study, conducted in a high-volume colon and rectal surgery referral practice, outlines a systematic approach to patient selection, surgical procedures, and postoperative care. Preoperative evaluations include detailed medical and surgical histories, impact assessments of PSH, and oncological history reviews. The surgical technique involves the Da Vinci Xi™ robotic platform for adhesiolysis, hernia content reduction, stoma revision if needed, narrowing of the enlarged stoma trephine, lateralization of the stoma limb of bowel, and securing the mesh to the abdominal wall. Outcomes are reported for 102 patients undergoing robotic parastomal hernia repair from January 2021 to July 2023. Conversion to open surgery occurred in only one case (0.9%). Postoperative complications affected 39.2% of patients, with ileus being the most frequent (24.5%). Recurrence was observed in 5.8% of cases during an average follow-up of 10 months. In conclusion, parastomal hernia, a common complication post-stoma creation, demands surgical intervention. The robotic-assisted modified Sugarbaker repair technique, as outlined in this paper, offers promising results in terms of feasibility and outcomes.
