Perineal hernia repair using human dura.

J E Delmore, D A Turner, D M Gershenson

    Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |September 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    A patient experienced a perineal hernia and neovagina prolapse after cervical cancer treatment. Surgical repair using preserved human dura allografts resulted in a successful, asymptomatic outcome.

    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Gynecologic oncology
    • Biomaterials science

    Background:

    • Total pelvic exenteration is a radical surgical procedure for advanced pelvic cancers.
    • Gracilis myocutaneous flaps are used for vaginal reconstruction following pelvic exenteration.
    • Pelvic floor defects and hernias can be complications after such extensive surgery.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed a large perineal hernia and prolapse of a myocutaneous neovagina 13 months post-surgery.
    • The complication occurred after total pelvic exenteration for recurrent cervical squamous cell cancer and gracilis flap reconstruction.
    • The neovagina required removal due to the prolapse and hernia.

    Findings:

    • The pelvic floor defect was surgically repaired using preserved human dura allografts.
    • The patient remained asymptomatic 12 months after the reconstructive surgery.
    • Human dura allografts demonstrated efficacy in repairing complex pelvic floor defects.

    Implications:

    • Preserved human dura allografts represent a viable option for complex pelvic floor reconstruction.
    • This case highlights the potential of allografts in managing post-exenteration complications.
    • Further research into dura allografts could expand their application in reconstructive surgery.
