title: Perineal Hernia Is an Unusual Complication Post Perineal Bladder Neck Closure: A Case Report.
abstract: Bladder neck closure (BNC) is the ultimate bladder neck reconstruction. If reconstruction fails, closure must be considered as it gives the highest continence rate. The vast majority of BNCs are performed through an abdominal approach (either transvesical or extravesical approach), but perineal approach remains an option for BNC with considerable success rate. Perineal hernia, which is defined as protrusion of abdominal contents through the perineal defect, is a very rare complication after urologic procedures. We report a case of perineal hernia post perineal BNC.
