Objective:
To investigate stoma-related complications in ileal conduits we present a series of 4 patients in whom we performed a transposition of the conduit to the contralateral side as a surgical solution for large parastomal hernias.
Patients And Methods:
4 patients presented between 1998 and 2009 with large parastomal hernias, all in the right hemi-abdomen. A transposition to the contralateral side was carried out.
Results:
The postoperative course was uneventful in all patients. After a median follow-up of 30 months all patients were free of complaints regarding the new stoma site. No patient presented with peristomal ulcerations or a recurrent hernia during the entire time of follow-up.
Conclusion:
The transposition of an existing conduit and the creation of a new contralateral ostomy site is an effective solution for patients suffering from severe local ostomy complications that are not manageable otherwise.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
