Open Retromuscular Sugarbaker vs Keyhole Mesh Placement for Parastomal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Durable parastomal hernia repair remains elusive. There is limited evidence comparing the durability of the open retromuscular Sugarbaker and keyhole mesh configurations.

Objective

To determine if the open retromuscular Sugarbaker mesh placement technique would lower parastomal hernia recurrence rates.

Design, setting, and participants

In this single-center, randomized clinical trial, 150 patients with a permanent stoma and associated parastomal hernia who were candidates for open retromuscular parastomal hernia repair were enrolled and randomized from April 2019 to April 2022 and followed up for 2 years.

Interventions

Following intraoperative assessment to determine the feasibility of either technique, enrolled patients were randomized to receive ei
