A cul-de-sac hernia (also termed a peritoneocele) is a herniation of peritoneal folds into the rectovaginal septum (in females), [2] or the rectovesical septum (in males). The herniated structure is the recto-uterine pouch (pouch of Douglas) in females, [ 2 ] or the rectovesical pouch in males.

After pelvic exenteration, many patients will have perineal hernia, often without symptoms, but only 3–10% will have perineal hernia requiring surgical repair. [4] Many problems can occur with the stoma. [1] Bowel obstruction may occur, or the anastomosis created by the surgery may leak. [1] The stoma may retract, or may prolapse. [1]
The deep perineal pouch is bordered inferiorly by the perineal membrane, also known as the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm. It is bordered superiorly by the superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm. [1] The deep pouch is now described as the region between the perineal membrane and the pelvic diaphragm. [2]

With the removal of the prostate , many males experience urinary incontinence post operation; pelvic floor exercises may be used to counteract this pre and post ...
