Abstract:

Perineal hernia, formed by the protrusion of intra-abdominal viscera through a weakened pelvic floor area known albeit rare complication following Abdominoperineal Resection (APR) for rectal cancer. The incidence of perineal hernia is estimated to be up to 7% following APR [1]. The most common symptoms of a perineal hernia include perineal bulging and discomfort with activity secondary to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. However, the complications include urinary retention/incontinence, bowel obstruction, perineal tissue erosion and trauma to herniated viscera. Most perineal hernias remain asymptomatic. For patients presenting with perineal discomfort and urinary pathology following APR, a careful history and physical examination should be undertaken and treatment offered if one is present. Treatment of perineal hernias is mostly surgical, using a transabdominal, trans-perineal or laparoscopic approach [1-6]. Here, we report a case of a perineal hernia repaired using a transabdominal approach with mesh and a trans-perineal repair using a gluteal myocutaneous flap.
