Abstract

Symptomatic perineal herniation after abdominoperineal resection is a rare complication and its management remains challenging. Perineal laparoscopic mesh repair is safe and effective and can be performed with minimal complications. We report a giant perineal hernia treated by a combined laparoscopic mesh repair approach and plastic resection of the cutaneous perineal wound. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report with this technical approach that we could find in the English literature.
