The “Tulip” technique to optimize SMART Parastomal Hernia Repair (Stapled Mesh Stoma Reinforcement Technique)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Parastomal hernias (PSH) are a common complication of intestinal or urinary stomas, occurring with a prevalence greater than 30%. There is no repair technique that has proven to be feasible, safe, and associated with a limited risk of recurrence. The technique described herein is a modification of the SMART technique using a slowly resorbable prosthetic mesh (Phasix™) that offers several advantages: feasibility, safety, elective surgery, without stomal transposition, and a reduced risk of stomal injury and long-term complications.
