Abstract
The incidence of parastomal hernia is between 0 and 48.1 per cent, depending on the type of stoma and length of follow-up. No technical factors related to the construction of the stoma have been shown to prevent herniation. If repair is required, a prosthetic mesh technique should be considered. Further randomized clinical trials (particularly of extraperitoneal stoma construction) are needed.
