Perineal hernia after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer: report of two cases

Alexander A F A Veenhof et al. Dis Colon Rectum. 2007 Aug.

Abstract

Perineal hernias are uncommon complications after open abdominoperineal resection. We present two patients with a perineal hernia after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection. Surgical correction of symptomatic hernias is a challenging problem caused by the effects of preceding surgery. The surgical management with a mesh is described and discussed in this case report.
