Parastomal herniation is a common complication of stoma formation, and its operative treatment is notoriously difficult. Recently we have reported the promising short-term results of a keyhole technique in which a Gore-Tex Dual Mesh with a central keyhole is laparoscopically fashioned around the bowel to close the hernia. In the long-term, recurrence is one of the major issues in hernia repair, therefore, this aspect was prospectively investigated.
