Abstract
Perineal hernia is an infrequent complication of abdominoperineal resection, but can be problematic. Multiple surgical approaches to the repair of perineal hernia have been described, including abdominal, perineal, and combined methods; most feature the use of a prosthetic mesh. We report a case wherein a large perineal hernia was reduced via an abdominal approach, and then repaired by the placement of an acellular dermal graft (DermaMatrix) fixated anteriorly directly to the pubis with Mitek suture anchors.
