Sandwich parastomal hernia repair, a prospective observational study.
Observational study in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of the study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and short and long term outcomes following the Sandwich repair for parastomal hernia.
methodsA prospective single center study including all patients operated with Sandwich repair at St. Olav hospital, Trondheim University hospital from 2018 to 2023.
resultsFifty four patients were treated with the Sandwich repair. All procedures were performed laparoscopically, with two conversions to open surgery due to adhesions. The median age was 67 years. 44% of the patients were females. Two thirds of the patients had a colostomy. Pain or discomfort was the most frequent indication for parastomal hernia repair, followed by leakage. Median operation time was 149 min. Eight patients were operated in an emergency setting. Six patients had a recurrence after previous surgery for parastomal hernia. Three patients had ClavienDindo complication rate 3b following the Sandwich repair and had their implants removed a few days after index surgery. The median in-hospital time was 5 (2-35) days and the median followup was 33 months (1-61). No recurrences were identified.
conclusionThe laparoscopic Sandwich repair is a safe methode for most of the parastomal hernia patients. Even with a reasonable long median follow-up, we did not observe any recurrences.
