Laparoscopic perineal hernia repair following pelvic exenteration: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acquired perineal hernia is a rare complication following extensive pelvic surgery. Radiotherapy is also a predisposing factor. Perineal hernia can cause chronic perineal pain, bowel obstruction, urinary disorders and a cosmetically disfiguring defect. The treatment of perineal hernia is surgical, usually consisting of mesh repair via an abdominal or perineal approach.

Case presentation

We present a case report and a surgical video of a 42-year-old woman with history of a squamous cell carcinoma. This patient had 3 recurrences since the diagnosis and a symptomatic perineal hernia. Complete regression of the recurrent malignancy allowed us to treat the perineal hernia. We performed laparoscopic repair with prosthetic mesh in this patient who had undergone multiple surgeries and radiotherapy, while preserving the omental flap that was used to reconstruct the posterior part of the vagina.

Conclusion

There is no consensus concerning the preferred surgical approach, perineal or laparoscopic, as no study has demonstrated the superiority of either of these approaches. Laparoscopic repair for an acquired perineal hernia is safe and feasible. However, further studies including randomized trials are required to precisely evaluate the best surgical approach and type of mesh.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic repair of perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Perineal hernia is a protrusion of the pelvic floor containing intra-abdominal viscera. The occurrence of postoperative perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection (APR) is rare, but reports have indicated a recent increase in occurrence following surgical treatment for rectal cancer. This has been attributed to a shift towards extralevator abdominoperineal resection, together with more frequent and long-term use of neoadjuvant therapy. PRESENTATION OF CASE:Here, we report the case of a patient who underwent APR for cancer. Twenty months postoperative, a perineal hernia was detected. The patient was electively scheduled for surgery. Robot-assisted laparoscopy was performed using the da Vinci Surgical System. The perineal hernia was repaired by primary closure with the placement of Symbotex Composite mesh as reinforcement for the pelvic floor. The surgery was performed without any adverse events, and the patient was discharged the day after surgery. Clinical follow-up proceeded at the designated time intervals without difficulties. DISCUSSION:Recurrence rates of perineal hernia remain high, and surgeons face numerous challenges related to poor view, suturing and mesh placement in the deep pelvis. Numerous approaches have been described, but there is still no consensus as to the optimal repair technique for perineal hernia. CONCLUSION:Symptomatic perineal hernias can feasibly be repaired with robot-assisted laparoscopy. Furthermore, suturing and mesh placement require less effort with the robot approach when compared to the open and laparoscopic approaches. These promising findings are demonstrated in the included video.

Perineal Wound Closure Following Abdominoperineal Resection and Pelvic Exenteration for Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Project description:BackgroundAbdominoperineal resection (APR) and pelvic exenteration (PE) for the treatment of cancer require extensive pelvic resection with a high rate of postoperative complications. The objective of this work was to systematically review and meta-analyze the effects of vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap (VRAMf) and mesh closure on perineal morbidity following APR and PE (mainly for anal and rectal cancers).MethodsWe searched PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE for eligible studies as of the year 2000. After data extraction, a meta-analysis was performed to compare perineal wound morbidity. The studies were distributed as follows: Group A comparing primary closure (PC) and VRAMf, Group B comparing PC and mesh closure, and Group C comparing PC and VRAMf in PE.ResultsOur systematic review yielded 18 eligible studies involving 2180 patients (1206 primary closures, 647 flap closures, 327 mesh closures). The meta-analysis of Groups A and B showed PC to be associated with an increase in the rate of total (Group A: OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.43-0.71; p < 0.01/Group B: OR 0.54, CI 0.17-1.68; p = 0.18) and major perineal wound complications (Group A: OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.35-0.68; p < 0.001/Group B: OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.12-1.17; p < 0.01). PC was associated with a decrease in total (OR 2.46, 95% CI 1.39-4.35; p < 0.01) and major (OR 1.67, 95% CI 0.90-3.08; p = 0.1) perineal complications in Group C.ConclusionOur results confirm the contribution of the VRAMf in reducing major complications in APR. Similarly, biological prostheses offer an interesting alternative in pelvic reconstruction. For PE, an adapted reconstruction must be proposed with specialized expertise.

Single-incision laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair of supra-pubic incisional hernia: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionRepair of supra-pubic incisional hernia is still challenging because of the highest pressure at the lower abdominal wall in the erect position. Recently, laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair has been gradually reported.Case presentationA 77-year-old woman underwent single-incision laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair under a diagnosis of a supra-pubic incisional hernia, measuring 7?×?4 cm. A single, 2.5-cm, intraumbilical incision was made, followed by creation of the preperitoneal space. Then, the posterior rectus sheath and peritoneum were opened, and laparoscopic exploration was performed. After dissection of the supra-pubic hernia content, the tube for degassing the abdominal cavity was inserted into the abdominal cavity, and the peritoneum and the posterior sheath were closed. The preperitoneal space was dissected gradually, and circular dissection of the hernia sac was performed. The proximal sac (peritoneum) was sutured continuously. A 15?×?10 cm mesh was placed in the preperitoneal space and fixed securely with absorbable tacks at the pubic bone, Cooper's ligament, and the rectus abdominis muscle, respectively. After degassing the preperitoneal space, a second laparoscopic exploration was performed to confirm the secure suture of the peritoneum and no injury of the abdominal organs. At 4-month follow-up, the patient remained well with no signs of recurrence.DiscussionSingle-incision laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair could minimize the recurrence of supra-umbilical incisional hernia and perioperative complications.ConclusionSingle-incision laparoscopic preperitoneal mesh repair, offering good cosmetic results, might be useful for repair of supra-pubic incisional hernia.

Primary anterior perineal hernia: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:Perineal hernia is a type of pelvic floor hernia and an extremely rare pathologic state. Perineal hernias can be classified into anterior and posterior types according to their positional relationship to the superficial transverse perineal muscle. A 49-year-old woman presented with bulging of the right labium major while standing. Standing external ultrasonography revealed a mass in the bulge, which could not be identified by transvaginal ultrasonography, CT, or MRI. Although hernia content could not be identified preoperatively, the patient was given a diagnosis of primary perineal hernia and underwent laparoscopic repair. Symptoms resolved postoperatively, and no sign of relapse has been noted for 8 months postoperatively. Here, we report the case details and review previous case reports.

Early peritoneal metastasis after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair secondary to colon cancer resection: A case report.

Project description:Introductionand importance: We report a case of a patient who developed early peritoneal metastasis after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair secondary to curative colon cancer resection.Case presentationA 77-year-old woman underwent ileocecal resection with open laparotomy for locally advanced cecal cancer. The pathological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma with T3N2aM0. Three months after the surgery, she developed incisional hernia at the midline incision site. After the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy, surveillance computed tomography (CT) showed no cancer recurrence. Her abdominal discomfort persisted because of incisional hernia, and thus we performed laparoscopic incisional hernia repair using the intraperitoneal onlay mesh technique at 11 months after the initial surgery.Five months after incisional hernia repair, CT showed multiple liver and peritoneal metastases. She was started on systemic chemotherapy. Two days after the first therapeutic infusion, she developed small bowel obstruction. We decided to perform palliative surgery with intestinal bypass. Exploratory laparoscopy revealed that the implanted mesh for incisional hernia repair was completely covered with multiple nodules of peritoneal metastasis. Two months after the bypass surgery, she resumed her chemotherapy, but CT showed significant progression of all recurrent lesions. She did not wish to continue further chemotherapy and decided to receive the best supportive care.Clinical discussionThis case may raise important clinical questions regarding the indication and timing of incisional hernia repair for patients who are at high risk of cancer recurrence.ConclusionIncisional hernia repair must be performed in the absence of any possibility of cancer recurrence, particularly in the earlier follow-up period.

Case report: Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal repair of an obturator hernia with self-gripping mesh under spinal anaesthesia.

Project description:IntroductionObturator hernias account for less than 0.073% of all hernias and less than 1.6% of all cases of mechanical bowel obstructions.Presentation of caseWe present a case of a 79 year-old elderly female with two recurrent bowel obstructions that have resolved with conservative management. On the third presentation we performed a totally extraperitoneal repair (TEP) with conscious sedation and a L3/4 spinal block. An obturator defect was patched with a self gripping mesh (progrip). The patient was discharged day 2 post operatively.DiscussionLaparoscopic surgery can be safely performed in high risk patients with careful monitoring. Laparoscopic surgery is usually associated with a shorter post-operative length of stay.ConclusionThis case demonstrates the successful but unconventional repair of an obturator hernia in a patient who had a high risk of significant morbidity and mortality with a more conventional anaesthesia and surgery.

Bilateral Lumbar Hernias Following Spine Surgery: A Case Report and Laparoscopic Transabdominal Repair.

Project description:Lumbar hernias are rare abdominal wall defects. Fewer than 400 cases have been reported in the literature and account for 2% of all abdominal wall hernias. Lumbar hernias are divided into Grynfelt-Lesshaft or Petit hernias. The former are hernia defects through the superior lumbar triangle, while the latter are defects of the inferior lumbar triangle. Primary lumbar hernias are further subdivided into congenital or acquired hernias and can further be classified as either primary or secondary. Secondary hernias occur after previous flank surgeries, iatrogenic muscular disruption, infection, or trauma. We review a rare presentation of metachronous symptomatic bilateral secondary acquired lumbar hernia following spine surgery. A successful laparoscopic transabdominal lumbar hernia repair with extraperitoneal mesh placement was performed, with resolution of the hernia symptoms. An extensive literature review regarding lumbar hernia and different types of repairs was performed.
