Popis: Background Evidence to support routine prophylactic mesh insertion during stoma construction is conflicting. The PREVENT randomised controlled trial (RCT) suggested lower incidence of parastomal hernia (PSH) with prophylactic mesh but with no quality of life or cost benefit. Another two RCTs has shown no prophylactic benefit (STOMAMESH & STOMA-const). Although European Hernia guidelines recommends routine prophylactic mesh in end-colostomy, NICE guidelines suggest mesh on individual basis not routinely. Aim To identify the group with higher risk to develop a symptomatic PSH when prophylactic mesh should be considered Material and Methods A single center retrospective review of all stoma formed. Younger patient than 18 years and patients who had less than 6 months’ follow-up were excluded. Development of PSH was confirmed by radiological evidence or direct intra-operative visualization Results 194 patients between January 2015 till December 2019 were included with mean follow-up of 15.7±13.5 months where 91 patients developed PSH. On multivariate analysis, older age (>65) (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.08 – 4.99, p 0.03) and Obesity (OR 5.8, 95% CI 2.53 – 13.57, p 0.00) were risk factors of developing PSH. Among the PSH group, 28 were symptomatic (31%). Symptomatic subgroup had higher ASA (ASA >2) than asymptomatic subgroup (50% Vs 27%, p 0.05) Conclusions Obese patients older than 65 years are at increased risk of PSH. IF their ASA >2 this PSH is likely to become symptomatic. This is the group who should benefit the most from prophylactic measures including mesh insertion and should be targeted for future trials
