Perineal hernias rarely develop spontaneously, and their treatment is controversial. We report a case of a primary perineal posterior hernia in an 81-year-old woman, who presented with progressive bulging in the perineal area, preventing comfortable excretion. The diagnosis was established by herniography. We operated via an abdominal approach and repaired the hernia by reconstructing the pelvic floor using the uterus. To our knowledge, reconstruction using the uterus to repair a pelvic defect has not been reported before.
