Pelvic floor hernias are rare. Three different types can be distinguished; these are, in order of decreasing frequency: obturator, perineal and sciatic hernias. We report a rare case of a perineal hernia with an intra- and extraperitoneal part. Furthermore a two-stage surgical approach (first transabdominal, then posterior) is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
