Abstract:
Internal hernias are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Paraduodenal hernias are the most common type of internal hernias. Although small bowel obstruction is associated with internal hernias, large bowel obstruction is unique. The authors here report a case of left para duodenal hernia with simultaneous small and large bowel obstruction and gangrene. The patient underwent emergency laparotomy and generous resection of gangrenous small and large bowel was carried out and stoma was created. Postoperatively, the patient had a smooth recovery and was discharged after a few days.Reversal of stoma was carried out after 2 months.
