Summary

This study details a complex case of recurrent pudendal hernia and enterocele in a diabetic woman after multiple pelvic surgeries. Surgical repair involved mesh augmentation and vaginal vault suspension to address the anatomical defects and prevent recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Urogynecology
  • Pelvic reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • Recurrent pelvic organ prolapse and associated hernias pose significant challenges, particularly after multiple surgical interventions.
  • Diabetic patients may have increased risk factors for surgical complications and recurrence.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old diabetic woman presented with a recurrent labial mass after prior surgeries for vaginal vault prolapse and failed sacrospinalis fixation.
  • Initial translabial repair of a pudendal hernia containing bladder failed, with recurrence at 9 months.

Findings:

  • An extensive abdominal approach was required for definitive repair, including closure of the urogenital diaphragm defect with absorbable mesh.
  • Vaginal vault suspension to the sacral promontory and closure of the Douglas pouch were performed to prevent enterocele recurrence.

Implications:

  • Complex pelvic floor defects necessitate tailored surgical strategies, often involving combined abdominal and transvaginal approaches.
  • Mesh augmentation and robust suspension techniques are crucial for managing recurrent hernias and preventing enterocele recurrence.
  • This case highlights the importance of thorough anatomical repair in managing challenging urogynecological cases.
