Incisional and parastomal hernias are common after abdominal surgery. Prompt referral for diagnosis and treatment, especially for severe cases, is crucial to manage complications and prevent recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Abdominal surgery complications
  • Hernia repair outcomes
  • Surgical site infections

Background:

  • Incisional and parastomal hernias frequently complicate abdominal surgery.
  • Timely diagnosis and surgical consultation are essential for symptomatic patients.
  • Giant and parastomal hernias require specialized care at regional hernia centers.

Approach:

  • This review outlines referral pathways for hernia management.
  • It emphasizes the role of stoma nurses for parastomal hernia patients.
  • The review discusses common complications and acute referral criteria.

Key Points:

  • Referral to local surgical departments for diagnosis and surgical indication.
  • Specialized referral to regional hernia centers for giant and parastomal hernias.
