"Use of Resorbable Prosthetic Mesh Ante Rectus as Prevention of Parastomal Hernia."

"All MG patients underwent the procedure with ante rectus positioned prophylactic mesh according to the following standardized technique. A BIO-A circular-shaped mesh measuring 8X10 cm in diameter is prepared with an internal 2 cm hole to let the bowel pass.~An at least 8x8 cm space is created between the anterior rectus sheath and the rectus abdominis muscle and, then, the mesh is positioned. The bowel is passed through the rectus muscle via the circular incision in the middle of the mesh. Single absorbable monofilament sutures anchored the mesh laterally in the ante rectus pocket, while medially the mesh is fixed with four stitches to the colon and to both the anterior rectal sheet. The stoma is attached to the skin similarly to CG patients."
