Abstract
Regarded as one of the most challenging hernia scenarios, parastomal hernias require a well-planned and well-executed surgical approach to afford the highest chance of a successful repair. Surgical decision-making at the time of ostomy creation has a significant impact on subsequent parastomal hernia formation. Unfortunately, hernias still occur in as many as 50% of all ostomies [1–3]. This chapter will review methods of extraperitoneal repair for parastomal hernias.
