Abstract

Symptomatic perineal herniation after abdominoperineal resection is a rare complication and its management remains challenging. Recurrent symptomatic perineal hernia after a previous laparoscopic mesh repair is exceptional and no standardized procedure has been deemed the "gold standard of care." To date, this redo laparoscopic mesh repair is only the second report that we could find in the English literature.
