Dimensions & Features

About the Condition

What Is a Perineal Hernia?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports the bladder, rectum and genitals. The perineum is part of the pelvic floor and includes the area of skin between the anus and the genitals. A hernia occurs when part of an organ or other tissue pushes through a weak area in the pelvic floor muscle. Symptoms of a perineal hernia may include difficulty going to the bathroom, a feeling of pressure when standing or swelling in the area.

How Common Is a Perineal Hernia?

While hernias are common, perineal hernias are very rare. The condition typically occurs after abdominal surgery that cuts through muscles in the pelvic floor. Women are more likely than men to have perineal hernias.

How Is It Treated?

Perineal hernias are treated with surgery to reposition the protruding organ and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Surgery may be minimally invasive or traditional. 

Benefits of 3D Printing

3D-printed anatomy models offer a variety of advantages for surgical planning, patient education and medical research, including:

∙ Greater accuracy and detail than traditional anatomical models. 3D-printed models are created from digital scans of a patient's anatomy, which ensures that they are as close as possible to an exact replica of real human anatomy.

∙ More versatility than traditional anatomical models. 3D-printed models can be customized to meet your specific needs, whether planning a complex surgical procedure, training with real patient data or facilitating personalized patient communication.

Not limited to standard manufacturing, 3DP provides the best opportunity to produce accurate models in natural organic shapes, sizes, and colors; creating the best representation of real human anatomy.
