Long-term assessment of parastomal hernia prevention by intra-peritoneal mesh reinforcement according to the modified Sugarbaker technique.

Background: Parastomal hernia (PSH) is a very frequent complication after creation of a permanent colostomy. The aim of that study is to assess the safety and the long-term efficacy of an intra-peritoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) positioned at the time of primary stoma formation to prevent PSH occurrence.

Materials And Methods: That multicentre prospective study concerned 29 consecutive patients operated for cancer of the low rectum between 2008 and 2014.

Comparison between single-incision and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a prospective trial of the Club Coelio.

Method: Patients' inclusion criteria were uncomplicated gallstones, BMI ≤30, ASA score ≤2, and no past surgery in the upper abdomen. Five surgeons performed only SILC and seven only CLC.
