ABSTRACT:
Perineal hernias are uncommon complications
following laparoscopic abdominoperineal operations. There is still very little
known about perineal hernia. There are only few case reports to describe the
repair of postoperative hernias after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection
(APR) in the literature. Here we present one patient with a perineal hernia
after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. The surgical
management with manual purse-string suture is described and discussed in this
case report.
