INTRODUCTION An internal hernia is the herniation of an intestinal segment into an intra-peritoneal fossa, is an uncommon cause for intestinal obstruction and is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a male patient 19 years old presenting with acute abdomen due to a strangulated Waldayer's hernia. DISCUSSION The paraduodenal hernias are more common in males (M...

INTRODUCTION An interparietal inguinal hernia is a rare form of hernia. In this type of hernia, the sac passes between the layers of the abdominal wall of the inguinal canal area. Although its treatment is very simple but pre-operative diagnosis is really a challenging issue. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 62 years old male patient presented with complaint of a large swelling over right lower abdomen...

Para duodenal hernia is among the uncommon and rare causes of intestinal obstruction, but it is the most common type of internal hernia in abdomen and accounts for more than half of cases that do occur. Here, we are reporting a case of right Para duodenal hernia, reduced and repaired laparoscopically. This thirteen year old girl presented to us with features of small bowel obstruction of two da...

Paraduodenal hernia is the most common form of congenital internal hernia and constitutes a protrusion of bowel into the retroperitoneal space through peritoneal defects near the third and fourth portion of the duodenum. The lifetime risk of obstruction and bowel strangulation is around 50% with a mortality of 20% and higher. Despite the rarity of the disease, it poses a serious surgical proble...

Spigelian hernias occur in the lower abdomen where the posterior sheath is deficient. It protrudes through a slit like defect in the anterior abdominal wall adjacent to the semilunar line. The hernia ring is formed as a well-defined defect in the transversus abdominis. Extraperitoneal fatty tissue surrounds the hernial sac and it passes through the transversus and the internal oblique aponeuros...

Para-duodenal hernias are the most frequent type of congenital internal hernia. It is observed that left para-duodenal hernia about three times more common than right counterpart.This case serves as an example how bowel obstruction brought on by a paraduodenal typically manifests severe abdominal pain worsens quickly. Considering it closed loop obstruction, early damage results, which explains ...

Reconstruction of massive abdominal wall defects has long been a vexing clinical problem. A landmark development for the autogenous tissue reconstruction of these difficult wounds was the introduction of "components of anatomic separation" technique by Ramirez et al. This method uses bilateral, innervated, bipedicle, rectus abdominis-transversus abdominis-internal oblique muscle flap complexes ...

The development of an internal hernia into the Treitz fossa after pancreaticoduodenectomy has not been previously reported. We herein present such a case with a brief review of the literature. A 43-year-old man who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy with reconstruction of the digestive tract by the Child method at our hospital 7 months previously presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomog...

INTRODUCTION Giant inguinal hernia is unusual, and duodenal rupture accompanying it is particularly very rare and significantly hard to manage surgically. PRESENTATION OF CASE An 81-year-old man was admitted to our institution with upper abdominal pain. He had tenderness of the upper mid abdomen and a bilateral large inguinal hernia but he did not have pain in the inguinal-scrotal area. Compu...

BACKGROUND Richter's hernia is a high-risk ischaemic gastrointestinal disorder that is typically diagnosed in a delayed manner due to a lack of obvious symptoms. Spontaneous umbilical enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) resulting from an incarcerated Richter's hernia is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of recurrent umbilical region infection fo...
