Stoma site incisional hernias (SSIHs) are associated with substantial long-term morbidity, and the rate can be as high 30% to 40%. Recent efforts using prophylactic mesh reinforcement (PMR) reduce development of have shown encouraging outcomes. The objective this study was assess use biosynthetic at time stoma reversal on overall SSIH rate.
