Abstract

A patient developed a large perineal hernia and prolapse of a myocutaneous neovagina 13 months after total pelvic exenteration for recurrent squamous cell cancer of the cervix and gracilis myocutaneous vaginal reconstruction. The neovagina was removed and the pelvic floor defect was repaired with preserved human dura. Twelve months postoperatively, the patient remained asymptomatic. Current and potential uses for human dura allografts are discussed.
