According to the current literature parapubic hernia is regarded as a relatively rare pathology. The causative defect is usually related to pelvic surgery, traumatism, or bone malformation. Surgical treatment is difficult, because aponeurotic tissue on which to anchor a mesh on the caudal aspect of the defect is missing. This report describes a case of an incisional pubic hernia related to megabladder in a woman affected by diabetes insipidus and with a past clinical history of multiple pelvic interventions. As far as we are aware this report adds a new pathogenetic issue for parapubic hernias not previously described in the literature.

Abstract
According to the current literature parapubic hernia is regarded as a relatively rare pathology. The causative defect is usually related to pelvic surgery, traumatism, or bone malformation. Surgical treatment is difficult, because aponeurotic tissue on which to anchor a mesh on the caudal aspect of the defect is missing. This report describes a case of an incisional pubic hernia related to megabladder in a woman affected by diabetes insipidus and with a past clinical history of multiple pelvic interventions. As far as we are aware this report adds a new pathogenetic issue for parapubic hernias not previously described in the literature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
