Sugarbaker technique shows lower recurrence in parastomal hernia repair

Findings from a retrospective analysis of 81 patients reveal a 25.9% recurrence rate and a 16.0% complication rate for large parastomal hernia repairs using lap-re-do techniques. Notably, the lap-re-do Sugarbaker technique demonstrated a significantly lower recurrence rate of 12.2% compared to 40% for the Keyhole technique. Complication and reoperation rates were also more favorable with Sugarbaker at 19.5% and 4.9%, respectively, indicating its superiority in managing these complex cases.
