A 72-year-old female presented with a six-month history of increased frequency of defecation, rectal bleeding, and severe rectal pain. Digital rectal examination and endoscopy revealed a low rectal lesion lying anteriorly. This was confirmed histologically as adenocarcinoma. Radiological staging was consistent with a T3N2rectal tumour. Following long-course chemoradiotherapy repeat staging did not identify any metastatic disease. She underwent a laparoscopic cylindrical abdominoperineal excision withen blocresection of the coccyx and posterior wall of the vagina with a negative circumferential resection margin. The perineal defect was reconstructed with Permacol (biological implant, Covidien) mesh. She had no clinical evidence of a perineal hernia at serial followup. Dynamic MRI images of the pelvic floor obtained during valsalva at 10 months revealed an intact pelvic floor. A control case that had undergone a conventional abdominoperineal excision with primary perineal closure without clinical evidence of herniation was also imaged. This confirmed subclinical perineal herniation with significant downward migration of the bowel and bladder below the pubococcygeal line. We eagerly await further evidence supporting a role for dynamic MR imaging in assessing the integrity of a reconstructed pelvic floor following cylindrical abdominoperineal excision.

Pooperacinės tarpvietės išvaržos gali būti operuojamos per priekinę pilvo sieną, tarpvietę, mišrią prieigą ar laparoskopiškai. Defektas, esantis tarpvietėje, gali būti pridengtas gretimais audiniais ar tinkliuku.Pristatomas pooperacinės išvaržos, atsiradusios po laparoskopinės abdominoperinealinės tiesiosios žarnos rezekcijos, klinikinis atvejis. 2007 metais 84 metų moteriai diagnozuota vidutinės diferenciacijos tiesiosios žarnos adenokarcinoma. Ligonei buvo atliktas priešoperacinis spindulinis gydymas. 2007 metų balandį atlikta laparoskopinė abdominoperinealinė rezekcija. Po metų ligonė pastebėjo darinį tarpvietėje, jis vis didėjo, tapo skausmingas, ir 2010 metų lapkritį moteriai buvo atlikta išvaržos plastika. Pasirinktas abdominoperinealinis prieigos būdas. Tarpvietės defektas panaikintas pridengiant jį autogeniniais audiniais. Pooperacinis laikotarpis buvo sklandus ir ligonė išrašyta į namus. Pooperaciniu laikotarpiu išvarža neatsinaujino.

Surgical repair may be performed through perineal, abdominal, combined or laparoscopic approaches. Reinforcement of the damaged pelvic floor may be accomplished with autologous tissues or a prosthetic mesh.An 84-year-old woman was referred to the surgical unit with a diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma in 2007. After receiving tumour irradiation in April 2007, a patient had a laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection. A year after the initial operation, the patient complained of painful perineal swelling most obvious whilst walking. The abdominoperineal approach was used to correct the hernia on November 2010. During the procedure, the defect in the pelvic floor was covered with autologous tissues. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient has had no recurrence of her perineal hernia within 6 months following the repair. Keywords: perineal hernia, abdominoperineal resection, laparoscopy, hernioplasty.

Postoperative Perineal hernia (PerH) is a recognised rare complication of radical pelvic oncologic procedures for rectal cancer, with a reported prevalence of 0.6-7%. PerH is a swelling in the perineum caused by herniation of abdominal or pelvic viscera through a defect in the pelvic floor. The cause of postoperative PerH is not known, however, wide extent of dissection, wound infection, neoadjuvant radiotherapy, length of small bowel and wider female pelvis, have been identified as risk factors for development of postoperative PerH. Cause of PerH is not known. Universal case definition of PerH does not exist, except it is a bulge in the perineum. Patients who are fit for surgery, have no recurrency, and are bothered or have severe symptoms (perineal swelling, perineal skin necrosis, urinary problems and/or intestinal obstruction) are offered surgical treatment. The aim of surgical repair is to exclude recurrency, closure of the pelvic defect with reconstruction of a new pelvic floor and repair of hernia.

Abstract Clinical diagnosis of pararectal masses remains a challenge to this day. Despite the availability of advanced imaging facilities, we often fail to reach a definitive diagnosis and have to resort to surgery. We describe a case of a 60-year-old female with a painless perianal swelling gradually increasing in size for 6 months with spontaneous reduction on assuming a supine position. Clinical examination of this patient was suggestive of a pelvic floor hernia. However, radiological investigations were suggestive of an ischiorectal abscess. In view of lack of radiological corroboration of clinical findings, patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy which ruled out a hernia. A wide local excision of the mass was performed, which on histopathology with immunohistochemistry examination revealed an aggressive pararectal angiomyxoma.

Sciatic hernia is a rare pelvic floor hernia. A variety of treatment modalities were proposed, but a guideline is lacking although a mesh-based tension-free repair may be preferred. A 67-year-old woman with an uncomplicated sciatic hernia received primarily closing of the hernia orifice that was covered with a preperitoneal mesh in March 2019. Six months later, she developed a clinical and radiographical recurrence requiring remedial surgery. Due to the previous mesh fixation, the preperitoneal plane was obliterated. Therefore, the pouch of Douglas was closed, leaving the hernia sac in place, by folding two opposing peritoneal layers and covering it with a Ventralight ST mesh. After 9 months, the hernia had not recurred and the patient was symptom-free. It is concluded that recurrent sciatic hernia may be treated by obliterating the Douglas pouch and subsequent mesh coverage.
