BACKGROUND Literature reports that the psychological impact for women following severe perineal trauma is extensive and complex, however there is a paucity of research reporting on women's experience and perspective of how they are cared for during this time. The aim of this study was to explore how women experience and make meaning of living with severe perineal trauma. METHODS A qualitative...

MATHERIALS OF STUDY From February 2012 to april 2013, 7 patients (all female, mean age 74,2 years, range 48-88) were operated in our unit with perineal stapled prolapsed resection (PSPR) approach for a full thickness e...

A perineal hernia is a condition that occurs in both dogs and cats in which there is abnormal displacement of the pelvic and/or abdominal organs into the region around the anus called the perineum. Hernias are potentially caused by a variety of factors including trauma, tumors, age and congenital, although there is no known underlying cause of perineal hernias. A hernia of perineal areas is mor...

The clinical diagnosis, ultrasonographic findings, surgical management, outcome, and survival rate of perineal or prescrotal urethral dilatation in 12 male calves are described. All calves were crossbred and intact males. The most noticeable clinical presentations were perineal (n= 10) or prescrotal (n= 2) swellings and micturition problems. The main ultrasonographic findings were oval shaped d...

Extralevator abdominoperineal excision and pelvic exenteration are mutilating operations that leave wide perineal wounds. Such large wounds are prone to infection and perineal herniation, and their closure is a major concern to most surgeons. Different approaches to the perineal repair exist, varying from primary or mesh closure to myocutaneous flaps. Each technique has its own associated advan...

Excretory and reproductive functions are underlaid by autonomicand somatic-neural control that regulates the pelvic and the perineal structures in mammals. Viscera and striated and smooth muscles are involved in complex and multiple reflexes occurring in the pelvic cavity (Komisaruk and Sansone, 2003; Pacheco et al., 1989; Thor and de Groat, 2010). In women, this region must accommodate the gro...

We report an unusual case of diphaIlus in a five year old boy. The two organs appeared separately, one orthotopically in the pubic area and the other in the perineum with no urinary meatus. A perineal hypospadias with meatus in the anterior anal verge was also present. The right testis was undescended and the scrotum was mildly bifid. The patient was continent for both voiding and defeca...
