Laparoscopic repair for stoma-related hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to fix parastomal hernias — a bulge near your stoma. The goal is to repair the hernia safely and help you avoid more problems with your stoma pouch.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed hernia near your stoma (the opening where waste exits your belly).
- The hernia is causing symptoms that need surgery, like pain or pouch problems.
- You are healthy enough to have surgery under general anesthesia (you'll be asleep).
- You have not had any prior surgery to fix a hernia in the same area.
- You do not have a serious medical condition that makes laparoscopic surgery unsafe, like severe bleeding problems, advanced heart or lung disease, or widespread internal scar tissue.

This study tests a new way to create a stoma (an opening in the belly for waste) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. It compares two methods to see which one better prevents hernias (bulges) from forming next to the stoma.
This trial tests whether sewing the belly lining in a special way during colostomy surgery can lower the chance of a hernia near the stoma. It may help you if you need a colostomy and are in generally good health.
This trial is looking at people who have a parastomal hernia (a bulge near an ostomy) and need it repaired. It tests an endoscopic (small-camera) surgical approach called the ePauli repair to improve how the hernia is fixed.
This trial tests a pre-shaped, funnel-like mesh placed during colostomy surgery to prevent parastomal hernias (bulging around the stoma). If you are having a permanent terminal colostomy and are in reasonably good health, this study may help reduce your risk of a hernia.
This study tests whether adding a procedure called gastropexy (tacking the stomach in place) to standard hernia repair helps prevent the hernia from coming back. It may be a good option for people having their first surgery for a paraesophageal hernia.
This study compares different surgical techniques to repair a large hiatal hernia using either an absorbable mesh, stronger anchoring stitches, or stitches alone. If you qualify and agree, you would be randomly assigned to one of these repair methods to see which works best.
