Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Internal hernia is an uncommon etiology of small bowel obstruction.
  • Transmesosigmoid hernia represents a rare subtype, with limited literature documenting its occurrence.

Observation:

  • A 44-year-old male presented with acute abdominal pain and signs of small intestinal obstruction.
  • Initial assessment suggested postoperative adhesions, but laparotomy revealed an internal hernia as the cause.

Findings:

  • The internal hernia was successfully reduced during laparotomy.
  • The mesenteric defect was closed with interrupted sutures, resolving the obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering internal hernia in all patients with small bowel obstruction, regardless of surgical history.
  • A high index of suspicion is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective management of this rare condition.
