Problems solved by technology

Additionally, the provision of only a single radial gap 7 in the mesh 4 and the flat nature of the mesh can present difficulties for the surgeon in fitting the mesh to the site of the stoma and the curved inner surface of the abdominal wall 2 around the hernia defect.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] A first embodiment of the device 10, an ideal peristomal hernia disease prevention device such as Figure 5 -8 shown. It can then be seen that one use of the device is to reinforce a site where the patient's bowel is passed to the patient's abdominal wall to form a stoma, for example, in a colostomy or ileostomy in the process of formation. The process will be described below by way of example. As mentioned previously, when the device is used in conjunction with a colostomy or ileostomy, the device was originally intended as a disease prevention device, implanted during the initial colostomy or ileostomy procedure in order to remove (or at least effectively reduce) the risk of subsequent peristomal hernias. However, the device 10 may be used during a subsequent revision surgical procedure to treat an existing hernia defect, such as a peristomal hernia or a hiatal hernia.

[0043] While most of the description below presents the use of the device as a disease prevent...

Abstract

A device (10) is provided for use in reinforcing a boundary wall of a patient's abdominal cavity at a site at which a portion of the patient's alimentary tract passes through that boundary wall. The device comprises a collar portion (11) for extending, in use, around the alimentary tract (17) at the approach of the alimentary tract to the interior of the boundary wall at said site. The device also comprises a plurality of petal-like elements (12) extending from the collar portion (11), said elements being arranged so as to extend, in use, outwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the portion of the alimentary tract passing through the collar portion and to be attached, in use, to the interior of the boundary wall around said side. The device is preferably, but not exclusively, for use in the prevention or treatment of parastomal herniation in patients having a colostomy or ileostomy or the like. It may however also find other applications, for example in the repair of developed hiatus hernias or the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for reinforcing the lateral wall of a patient's abdominal cavity at a location where a portion of the patient's digestive tract passes through the lateral wall. The device is preferably, but not exclusively, used to prevent or treat peristomal hernias in patients who have had a colostomy or ileostomy or the like. However, the device may also find other applications, eg for repairing a formed hiatal hernia or similar conditions. Background technique [0002] A stoma is an artificial opening of the bowel into the abdominal wall. In particular, a stoma is an artificial opening in the urinary tract called a urethrostomy. A peristomal hernia is a hernia that develops close to the stoma. [0003] A stoma is necessary when bowel surgery has removed other significant lengths of the bowel, such as for cancer or inflammatory bowel disease. The main different types of stomas depend on the part of the bowel that forms ...
