MEDICAL DEVICE FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF PARASTOMAL HERNIAS AND/OR FOR THE PREVENTION OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS A PROCEDURE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE DEVICE
The invention relates to a medical device for the reconstruction of parastomal hernias and/or for the prevention of their development, which has sheets (1, 2) made from plastic compatible with living tissue placed in the abdominal wall (6) connected via a linking-separating element and running separated at a distance (a) from each other. The linking-separating element is formed by a tube member (3) open at both ends forming a channel to make it possible to extract the large intestine (7) out of the abdominal cavity (9) through the abdominal wall (6). At least the tube member (3) is made from an adhesive plastic suitable for creating an organic connection with live tissue. The essence of the device is that the musculo-aponeurotic layer (6a) of the abdominal wall (6) in the vicinity of the tube member (3) is fixed to the sheets (1, 2) via fixing elements (4).
