Parastomal Hernia Repair is a surgery performed to correct a hernia that develops near or around an existing stoma, which is an opening created surgically for waste elimination. Parastomal hernias can occur due to pressure on the abdominal wall or improper stoma placement.

The surgery typically involves repairing the hernia by reinforcing the abdominal wall and repositioning the stoma if necessary. Laparoscopic or open surgery can be performed, depending on the size and complexity of the hernia.

Postoperative care includes pain management, monitoring for signs of infection, and ensuring proper healing of the abdominal wall. Patients may need to follow specific dietary recommendations to avoid further strain on the abdominal muscles.

Parastomal hernia repair offers relief from symptoms like bulging, pain, and discomfort, ensuring that the stoma functions properly and improving the patient's quality of life.
