Case Report: Combined Laparoscopic Perineal Hernia and Abdominal Parastomal Hernia Repair With a Mesh After Abdominoperineal Resection: A Video Vignette and Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative perineal hernia (PH) is an uncommon complication after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Different techniques have been described in literature and there is no consensus regarding the optimal repair approach. In the present study, we reported a case of a laparoscopic combined repair of a perineal hernia and abdominal parastomal hernia (PSH) with mesh. Studies have shown that the prosthetic PSH and PH repair can be performed at the same time by laparoscopy with the same trocars positioning, adding the advantages of minimally invasive surgery and avoiding large laparotomy.

Methods

A literature search in Pubmed was performed. All articles in English describe laparoscopic repair of combined perineal and parastomal hernias. A case presentation of an 83-ye
