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 trial tests ways to improve decisions and outcomes for people having surgery for a parastomal hernia, which is a bulge near a stoma. It aims to help patients make better choices and have better results.
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 study tests two different ways to create the opening for a stoma (an ostomy bag) during rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if one method reduces the risk of developing a hernia at the stoma site later.
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 study tests a special mesh placed during colostomy surgery to help prevent hernias (a bulge where the intestine comes through the belly). If you are having a permanent colostomy, this might help lower your chance of a common complication.
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.
