Parastomal hernia is the most common complication after surgical procedures that lead to the creation of a stoma. Most commonly in the hernia sac, there is omentum or small intestine or colon. The presence of the stomach as hernia's content is a rare event. Herein, we present the case of a 68-year-old woman, who was hospitalized in our surgical unit with incomplete gastric obstruction due to herniation of the stomach into a parastomal hernia and who was managed conservatively.
Keywords: end colostomy; gastric outlet obstruction; parastomal hernia; stoma related complications; stomach herniation.
