Laparoscopic repair of primary perineal hernias: the approach of choice in the 21st century

Perineal hernias are rare and result from the herniation of a viscus through the pelvic floor. Symptomatic perineal hernias are repaired surgically, historically via an open perineal, abdominal or abdominoperineal approach. We describe laparoscopic repair of a primary perineal hernia with mesh using...

Summary:Perineal hernias are rare and result from the herniation of a viscus through the pelvic floor. Symptomatic perineal hernias are repaired surgically, historically via an open perineal, abdominal or abdominoperineal approach. We describe laparoscopic repair of a primary perineal hernia with mesh using the transabdominal approach. We believe that for uncomplicated primary perineal hernias laparoscopic repair is technically feasible, and associated with rapid recovery and minimal complications.
