Redo deep pelvic surgery after abdominoperineal resection (APR) is usually difficult owing to the adhesion of the pelvic organs or intestines to the pelvic floor and is challenging in patients with a history of irradiation or lateral pelvic lymph node dissection. With the number of perineal hernia cases after APR increasing, several cases of perineal hernia repair using different techniques have been reported. Relatively new techniques include reconstruction with a flap, use of biological mesh, and use of glue for mesh fixation. 1 However, a lack of quality evidence makes it difficult to determine which technique is superior. 2 Although there is no criterion standard for perineal hernia repair, a systematic review showed that the major approach is the perineal approach and that repair using a mesh is common. 3 Here, we present a case involving a perineal hernia with severe intrapelvic adhesion after conventional APR (not extralevator APR), which was repaired successfully using a composite mesh through the perineal approach. We could perform adhesiolysis with the closest view and direct tactile information, avoiding intestinal damage and contamination.The patient was an 82-year-old man with a perineal hernia that became apparent 1.5 years after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and robotic APR with lateral pelvic lymph node dissection for rectal adenocarcinoma. The patient with the original perineal defect underwent simple closure by 2 layers (subcutaneous tissue and skin) without a flap. Using the perineal approach, safe adhesiolysis could be performed with the closest view and composite mesh deployment to the pelvic floor. Procedural details are presented with key technical points. No perioperative/postoperative complications occurred and no recurrence was observed at a 5-month outpatient follow-up. To our knowledge, there is no video report of adhesiolysis through the perineal approach. Our video emphasizes the benefit of this approach, which provides a close and direct view of the pelvic floor. See Video at http://links. lww. com/DCR/B943.
