Abstract:

Pelvic floor hernia known as perineal hernia is a hernia involving the perineum (pelvic floor). It
includes sciatic, obturator, paravesical and perineal. The hernia may contain fluid, fat, any part
of the intestine, the rectum, or the bladder. A perineal hernia may or may not cause a visible
bulging or swelling under the skin to one side or both sides of the anus. Occasional may cause
bowel obstructions. Surgical repair can be performed via open transabdominal and transperineal or
combined abdominoperineal repair. In our case study, patient revealed at gluteal enlargement while
standing, reduces when supine. Both transperineal and transabdominal repair have been performed
on this patient.
