Discussion
The key to all high-tension tissue repairs (including the linea alba, rotator cuffs, Achilles, nger tendons, etc.) is for the strength of the repair to remain high. At the time of surgery, the strength of the repair is a complex mixture of the strength of the sutures, the number of sutures applied, knot integrity, and the resistance of the tis­sues to tear at the suture/tissue interface (STI). Soon after suture repair of tissues, and over the next several days, there is loosening of the suture tension by up to 50% [17], perhaps due to a “softening” STI from local ischemia, inammation, or col­lagenases. The postoperative weakening of the physical construct of tendon repairs was rst shown in 1941 and was determined to last approximately 5days before biologic healing becomes additive to the total repair strength [18]. Early tearing of sutures through tendons is referred to as “gap formation” in the orthopedics litera­ture and is due to the forces applied at the STI being greater than tissue tolerance. In hand surgery, early gap formation of a repaired nger exor tendon of 1–3mm is associated with either rupture or scar formation [19]. Analogously, early separation of the midline abdominal closure at 30days of 15mm or more as shown by migra­tion of metal clips placed at the time of laparotomy or by CT scan demonstrates that early failure of the abdominal wall closure construct is predictive of incisional her­nia formation [2022].
Sutures concentrate forces at the STI, and for high-tension closures a zone of ischemia of variable size and dimensions is created. This zone of ischemia causes an internal pressure sore, though its size is small enough to permit remodeling over time through the creation of scar. Humans scar more than other animals and regen­erate less [23]. Scar is not normal tissue, and it lacks pulsatile blood ow that accompanies normal wound healing [24]. It does not respond to tensile forces with hypertrophy as described by Wolff’s law. Instead, scar deforms in response to nor­mal tensile stresses, elongates, and weakens over time. If the strength of the scar falls below the outward forces applied to the abdominal wall by the viscera, an incisional hernia will develop. Scar is also not as strong as the native tissue it replaces, gaining only 70% of the strength of the native linea alba [25]. It is the replacement of the linea alba with scar that could be the cause of “late” incisional hernias over time [26].
It has been shown in preclinical animal models that mesh sutured repairs have a greater early tensile strength than suture closures, but the tissue tolerance of the mesh strips, especially in a contaminated eld, then becomes important for clinical usage. Classic teaching is to limit permanent materials to a minimum and possibly to only use absorbable sutures and absorbable meshes (synthetic or bioprosthetic). In our reported series [16], several patients had their midline skin incisions left open with exposure of 0-polypropylene sutures (diameter 0.4mm) and mesh strips (la­ment diameter 0.15mm for Soft Prolene). Over time, the sutures required removal to permit healing, whereas we observed the deposition of granulation tissue over and around mesh strips during the course of secondary wound healing. Several other patients with seromas and exposed mesh strip knots had their skin opened in the ofce, and the wounds were allowed to close with local wound care. This clinical

experience is consistent with animal data that the foreign body reaction quantita­tively differs depending on the lament diameter [27]. We propose that a high sur­face area/low lament size closure with mesh strips is more biocompatible than a low surface area/high lament diameter device such as a large monolament suture. In addition, the high surface area conditions of a permanent suture will result in a magnied foreign body reaction that persists and is located immediately at the repair site. This compares well conceptually to large planar meshes that create scar burden far from the abdominal wall closure.
Mesh sutured repairs have simplied our abdominal wall paradigm. Clean mid­line cases that require either a long repair or associated treatment of rectus diastasis receive a narrow well-xed retrorectus mesh. Almost every other clinical situation (other than parastomal hernias) have been treated successfully and simply with mesh sutures.

Introduction
Parastomal hernias are a dreaded yet common complication following the creation of a surgical stoma. Their repair represents a signicant surgical challenge as the presence of functional bowel passing through the abdominal wall by means of an iatrogenic defect makes fascial continuity impossible to restore. Although surgical intervention was once associated with high rates of recurrence and signicant post­operative complications, modern techniques for parastomal hernia repair through incorporation of mesh reinforcement and minimally invasive procedures have brought about improvements in the perioperative and postoperative course.
Risk Factors andIncidence
Parastomal hernia formation following stoma creation remains extremely common in the extant literature necessitating thoughtful planning and patient education [1
3]. While the greatest risk for formation presents in the rst 3–5years following the
creation of the diverting ostomy, parastomal hernias may form before and after this period as well [4, 5]. There are several associated risk factors that may predispose patients to greater likelihoods of parastomal hernia formation. Pathologies associ­ated with increased intra-abdominal pressure or weakening of the abdominal wall increase a patient’s risk of parastomal hernia formation [6, 7]. Chief among these are advanced age resulting in age-related thinning of abdominal wall musculature with concomitant loss of counter-tension to externally directed pressures [4]. Obesity represents an increasingly common modiable risk factor in Western soci­eties and has been directly correlated to increases in risk for parastomal hernia

formation as measured by increases in BMI and abdominal circumference [8, 9]. Additional diseases implicated in higher-risk patients are chronic pulmonary dis­ease or chronic cough syndromes, malnutrition, chronic steroid use, sepsis, or past history of previous abdominal wall hernia [5, 7, 10].

Diagnosis
Correct diagnosis of a clinically signicant parastomal hernia can be made with adequate physical exam by means of having the patient perform a Valsalva maneu­ver, during which the clinician will be able to appreciate a bulging of hernia con­tents either on visual inspection or palpation of the ostomy site [11]. Equivocal ndings on physical exam can be claried with computed topography (CT) of the abdomen, although increasing reliance on imaging has resulted in a dramatic increase in the identication of incidental subclinical hernias that have no harmful impacts on patient quality of life [11, 12]. Some estimates place the rate of inciden­tal parastomal hernia discovery by CT scan as high as 70%, raising concerns about the utility of conventional usage of diagnostic imaging in place of adequate physical exam [13]. These incidental ndings are a source of potential iatrogenic exacerba­tion as many hernias do not require surgical correction but may still postoperatively present with high rates of recurrence or postoperative complications. If the patient lacks clearly dened complaints relating to the presence of a parastomal hernia and presents with no risk for strangulation, conservative management and routine fol­low-up exam should be strongly considered [10].
Repair ofParastomal Hernias
Operative repair of parastomal hernias is appropriate in acceptable surgical candi­dates who present with symptomatic hernias as discussed earlier. Symptomatic her­nias are dened as those presenting with herniated abdominal contents at risk for strangulation or bowel obstruction although bleeding and ill-tting stomal devices may benet from surgical consideration [10]. Other less troubling considerations include local pain or irritation and insufcient cosmesis due to telescoping of bowel or retraction of the ostomy. The following represents a systemic review on the topic of surgical repair of parastomal hernias while offering discussions of tips and pit­falls where appropriate.
Stoma Relocation
Ideal stoma placement should be below the level of the umbilicus and often within the left or right lumbar region of the abdomen along surfaces without bony protu­berances or redundant tissue or skin folds. An encircling disc of smooth skin should surround the stoma, making it easy for direct patient visualization and stomal care.

In the event where a stoma has been improperly constructed, placed in an emer­gency setting, or if the abdomen has undergone distortion as a consequence of the disease process additional surgery to relocate the stoma may be necessary [14, 15].
Although laparotomy was formerly the surgical approach of choice in relocating a previously established stoma, in experienced hands laparoscopy is now a com­monly used modality. Compared to the substantially more invasive midline dissec­tions required of laparotomy, laparoscopic techniques have been associated with reductions in postoperative patient pain scores, complication rates, intra-abdominal adhesion formation, and midline incisional hernia formation as the midline abdomi­nal wall remains intact [1620].
Relocation is not without its challenges, as the introduction of a new stoma site disrupts local abdominal architecture. The presence of a new defect in addition to the closure of a potentially large preexisting defect may make adequate restoration of abdominal wall integrity a challenge. The use of prosthetic devices to restore abdominal wall continuity has become increasingly common. The authors encour­age the judicious selection and use of synthetic nonabsorbable materials. At present there is insufcient data to support claims as to long-term efcacy of biologic mate­rials in abdominal wall repair that may offset their increased material costs.
The high rate of hernia recurrence associated with the creation of a stoma is comparable to the creation of a new stoma site during relocation and increases with each additional abdominal surgery. Some reports indicate parastomal hernia forma­tion following relocation may approach 50%, although selection of a contralateral stoma site may reduce this risk [15, 21, 22]. As such, relocation is appropriate when necessary but should be discussed with the patient to manage postoperative expectations.
Primary Repair
Primary repair of parastomal fascial defects present often unacceptably high failure rates but may be considered as a means of last resort when other options are deemed unavailable or unsafe.
If attempted, the surgeon begins by making an incision approximately 5cm from the mucocutaneous junction of the hernia defect and proceeds with dissection until the hernia sac is identied. The sac is then mobilized and the hernia reduced, taking care to avoid injury to the adjacent stoma. Cases where fascial edges are brought into approximation under tension are at risk of hernia recurrence when compared to techniques utilizing mesh [19, 2124].
Parastomal Hernia Mesh Repair
Appropriate selection of mesh material is crucial in planning parastomal hernia repair. Traditionally, most parastomal hernia repairs utilize synthetic expanded polytetrauoroethylene (ePTFE) mesh due in large part to its resilience against
336

forming intra-abdominal adhesions to exposed bowel and against erosion into adja­cent structures [2527]. These benets must be weighed against the risk for ePTFE mesh to acquire postoperative mesh infection and raise concerns specically in instances of contaminated or dirty surgical elds, such as in open bowel resection [26, 28].
Biologic mesh materials have been promoted by some experts to be use in con­taminated elds [29]. Allograft and xenograft materials are derived human, porcine, or bovine donors and decellularized to form collagen matrices that serve as a stabile lattice suitable for mesh creation [3034]. Collagen matrix materials were devel­oped with the intention of implementation in clean-contaminated or contaminated surgical elds, suggesting they may be ideal materials in the repair of parastomal hernias [29]. Early reports suggest that limitations to the use of biologic meshes arise in heavily contaminated elds where bacterial loads can compromise tensile strength of the mesh and in their use with bridging techniques which result in unac­ceptable degrees of stretch and mechanical failure of biologics [35].
Newer composite meshes are now available on the market, and a variety of them may be used for parastomal hernia repair in IPOM (intraperitoneal onlay mesh) fashion. In addition, more recently several modications to parastomal hernia repair techniques have been reported where natural abdominal wall spaces are utilized to hide the mesh from intra-abdominal contents [36, 37]. In such cases, the use of uncoated macroporous polypropylene medium-weight mesh (MPMW) is becoming quite common. Recent data suggests that the use of MPMW mesh in contaminated eld may be a safe viable option, although much needed randomized prospective studies are lacking to make a strong recommendation for their use [38, 39].
Onlay Mesh
The onlay repair technique is a supercial reinforcement of the anterior abdomi­nal fascia surrounding the stoma site, positioning mesh within the subcutaneous space [40, 41]. The technique has been widely adapted and reinterpreted by a number of hernia repair surgeons, all taking a subtle variation on the general prin­ciple [4244]. One such approach as described by Rosin and colleagues presents a stomal reconstruction whereby the existing stoma is stapled to a close and retracted through a circumferential incision to then be reintroduced through a polypropylene mesh that is afxed to the anterior fascia [45]. By contrast, Leslie maintains the stomal mucocutaneous junction, instead opting for the utilization of a preexisting laparotomy scar to create an L-shaped incision from scar to ostomy which enables repair of coexisting parastomal and incisional hernias with mesh reinforcement [46, 47]. Tekkis has described a window exposure technique whereby a semicircular incision along the lateral edge of the stoma can allow for mesh reinforcement of three-quarters of the surrounding abdominal wall [48, 49]. When performing these types of repair, it is important to consider that supercial placement of mesh in the subcutaneous layer poses a risk for mesh infection sec­ondary to wound morbidity.

Underlay Mesh Placement
The underlay technique derives its name from the tunneling of lateralized bowel supercial to a deeper mesh layer rather than penetrating the mesh material. First pioneered by Sugarbaker in 1985, the technique has since undergone numerous revisions and technical adjustments; however, all variations universally afford wide exposure of the fascial defect from within the intra-abdominal cavity [50, 51]. This allows for substantial mesh overlap and confers stability to the abdominal wall defect while attempting to mimic the physiologic functions of the abdominal wall.
With the development of laparoscopic techniques, the underlay technique is per­formed via a minimally invasive approach while avoiding the wound morbidity associated with laparotomy. Current studies show the incidence of parastomal her­nia recurrence up to 10%, although consensus seems to suggest that the laparo­scopic Sugarbaker technique is superior to the keyhole technique resulting in fewer recurrences [13, 42].
Underlay keyhole technique is so named for its resemblance to an actual key­hole, with the securing mesh having a slit placed from a lateral edge to the middle to accommodate the presenting segment of bowel and leaving the stoma undis­turbed. This technique can be performed laparoscopically. The hernia sac and its contents are reduced. Minimum of 5cm overlap is desirable between the mesh and fascia to ensure proper integration and stability. The aperture site around the stoma should be tightened with sutures without obstructing the conduit passing through it. Once the mesh is inserted and the intact stoma is threaded through the keyhole slit, the keyhole is sutured together and afxed to the anterior abdominal wall, either with sutures, tacks, or a combination thereof. This technique is associated with high rates of parastomal hernia recurrence [5254].
Laparoscopic approach to the Sugarbaker technique leaves the mucocutaneous junction intact. Adhesiolysis is again completed and the colon is lateralized. After reduction of the hernia, the fascial defect is closed primarily and covered with a mesh prosthetic. Mesh is centered over the stoma site then fastened with several transfascial sutures, providing broad coverage for the lateralized colon. Care should be taken to prevent stenosis or angulation of the colon during mesh placement. When adequate coverage of the lateralized colon is obtained, tacks alone or a com­bination of tacks and sutures may be used to achieve sufcient stabilization of the prosthesis. The resulting ap created by the implanted mesh prevents parastomal hernia formation around the colon and has demonstrated acceptable rates of hernia recurrence [
55].
Transversus Abdominis Release andModified Retrorectus Sugarbaker
Posterior components separation via the transversus abdominis release (TAR) tech­nique facilitates enlargement of the retrorectus space, allowing for wide mesh over­lap of abdominal wall defects and facilitating closure of larger abdominal wall
