Laparoscopy-Assisted Repair for Intersigmoid Hernia.
Case Reports in Gastroenterology 2020 September
Intersigmoid hernia is a rare clinical entity. Only 6 cases of laparoscopic repair for intersigmoid hernia have been reported since 1977. We herein report such a case, which was successfully diagnosed preoperatively and treated with laparoscopic repair. A 50-year-old man with a chief complaint of abdominal pain and vomiting was admitted for the treatment of small bowel obstruction. The patient had no history of abdominal surgery. Computed tomography showed a dilated small bowel and a closed loop of small bowel dorsal to the sigmoid colon and the sigmoid mesocolon. With a diagnosis of an incarcerated internal hernia, the patient underwent emergency laparoscopy-assisted surgery. Laparoscopy showed that the ileum had herniated into the intersigmoid fossa, and therefore the patient was diagnosed with an intersigmoid hernia. Because bowel ischemia was not observed, we reduced the incarcerated small bowel, and the hernial defect was widely opened. After operation, the patient developed ileus and was treated with transnasal ileus tube. Thereafter, the patient made a satisfactory recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 21. The patient is in good general condition without ileus 42 months postoperatively.
