“…One of the surgeries associated with internal hernias is RYGB for obesity. RYGB (the second most commonly performed bariatric operation worldwide), results in an estimated incidence for internal hernia between 0.9 and 4.5% [4,5]. The location of these internal hernias tends to vary, though the most common site is the jejuno-jejunal window, followed by the Petersen's window, and then the meso-colic window (where applicable) [6].…”

Introduction: Internal hernias are a possible complication following gastric bypass surgery. Falciform ligament hernias are a rare form of internal hernias which can be life threatening. Case Presentation: The case study describes a 59-year-old lady who presented with abdominal pain and bilous vomiting. She was found to have a falciform hernia following Roux-en-Y gastric by pass (RYGB). She underwent an emergency laparoscopy and division of the falciform ligament to release the bowel. She recovered and was discharged after 2 days. Conclusion: Given this occurrence, it is worth considering dividing the falciform ligament if any created defects or congenital defects are visualised during routine bariatric surgery. This will reduce the risk of falciform ligament herniation.
