title: A transperineal approach to perineal hernia repair using suture anchors and acellular porcine dermal mesh.
abstract: Perineal hernia following major pelvic surgery is a rare but recognised complication. Various surgical approaches to the repair of a symptomatic perineal hernia have been described. We describe the first reported use of the Mitek suture anchors to secure an acellular porcine dermal graft to the ischia during the transperineal repair of a large perineal hernia.
