AB264. SOH26AB_0063. Case report of ultrasound-guided transverse abdominal plane hydrodissection: a novel approach for the treatment of parastomal hernia pain

Abdominal parastomal hernia pain is a common complication in patients who undergo stoma formation. The aetiology of the pain may be secondary to nerve damage and entrapment secondary to scar tissue formation. Chronic post-surgical pain is the most impacting factor on quality of life in these patients. Hydrodissection is a minimally invasive technique involving the injection of fluid (5% dextrose) to separate layers of fascia to release entrapped nerves. It is emerging as a potential treatment for nerve entrapment.
