A case report of an asymptomatic necrotic Meckel's diverticulum in an inguinal hernia during elective surgery in a resource limited setting: Littre's hernia

Umbilical Littre hernia: A rare case report of an acute abdomen

“…Its mean length is 5 cm with extremes ranging from 0.5 cm to 85 cm. These diverticulum's characters are crucial given their role in the choice of treatment procedure [ 6 , 7 ]. Moreover, two distinct subtypes of LH can be defined: the more common “true LH” contains only MD and should be distinguished from Richter's hernia, where part of the intestinal wall is strangulated in the hernial sac, but no MD is involved.…”

“…Regardless of the location of LH or age of patient, symptoms, including abdominal pain, distention, nausea, and vomiting, make headway more gradually than those of other complicated hernias. Sometimes there is a bump next to the hernia site due to a local inflammatory response [ 6 , 7 , 10 ]. In strangulated HL, obstruction is not always present.…”

An unusual form of incisional hernia: A case report of Littre's hernia

“…Depending on perioperative findings, LH is classified as true or mixed. True LH is more frequently encountered, and the hernia sac contains Meckel's diverticulum only [ 13 ]. Mixed LH, on the other hand, is less frequently documented and includes a segment of the small bowel alongside Meckel's diverticulum [ 13 ].…”

“…True LH is more frequently encountered, and the hernia sac contains Meckel's diverticulum only [ 13 ]. Mixed LH, on the other hand, is less frequently documented and includes a segment of the small bowel alongside Meckel's diverticulum [ 13 ]. In our paper, we report the first case of mixed Littre's hernia on the incisional site.…”
