title: [Recurrent hernia of the Douglas pouch. Surgical reconstruction by the vaginal route using a mersylene net].
abstract: The paper reports an interesting case of Douglas' hernia in a patient who had previously undergone gynecological surgery using a vaginal and abdominal route. The paper is illustrated by radiographic image. The importance of the clinical, anatomical and morphological conditions of the patient is underlined in the evolution of the hernial pathology. Reconstructive surgery was performed by creating a support barrier of mersylene net in order to avoid further recurrences.
