Abstract
Paracolostomy hernia is a common complication of stoma creation. Operative repair is indicated in about 15% of cases, through several surgical approac hes. We describe a laparoscopic technique used to repair a large symptomati c paracolostomy hernia in a 69-year-old woman almost 20 years after abdomin operineal resection, The laparoscopic approach to such a hernia is feasible , safe, and logical, as it combines the advantages of mesh reinforcement wi th those of endoscopic repair.
