Post-proctectomy perineal hernia: case report and discussion. 1985

N D McMullin, and W R Johnson, and A L Polglase, and E S Hughes

Perineal hernia is a rare complication of pelvic surgery. Women are more commonly affected, and development of the condition is usually gradual. Although the true incidence of this problem is unknown, few cases are severe enough to require operative repair. We report the experience of one of the authors (E.S.R.H.) in post-proctectomy perineal hernia. One case required surgical repair and is presented, with a discussion of the operative management.
