“…To the best of our knowledge, only a single case has been previously reported in the literature. 4 The mechanism for development of incisional hernia of the gallbladder in our case is thought to be as follows. The carcinoma of the gallbladder neck, located just proximal to the cystic duct, obstructed the outlet of the gallbladder and led to gallbladder distention.…”

A gallbladder incarcerated hernia associated with Mirizzi syndrome is a very rare entity and to our knowledge this is the first case ever described in literature. An 85-year-old man presented at the emergency department with a tender right upper quadrant mass. Computed Tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a gallbladder lithiasis with signs of acute cholecystitis, herniated through the abdominal wall with an associated Mirizzi syndrome. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and repair of the abdominal wall defect were performed. The patient recovered very well and the postoperative period was uneventful.

“…Furthermore, Shirahama et al [9] reported a gallbladder herniation at the site of right subcostal incision due to splenomegaly caused by gallbladder carcinoma and liver cirrhosis. Carragher et al [10] reported a dilated gallbladder herniation case associated with cholecystocutaneous fistula. In the present case, we determined a gallbladder protruding out of the abdominal wall from the Pezzer drain site.…”

IntroductionThe drainage of abdominal cavity by means of tube drains is the oldest method. The herniation of gallbladder through the abdominal wall is very rare. Although there are studies informing evisceration of organs such as small intestines and ovary from drain site; at the literature scanning, no publication has been met with advising gallbladder evisceration from the Pezzer drain site so far.Case presentationWe describe here the first case in the literature of gallbladder evisceration from the Pezzer drain site. A male case with a history of operated incarcerated right inguinal hernia presented with a surgical abdomen. With a diagnosis of intestinal ischemia, the patient underwent laparotomy. About 200 cc fluid with serous quality has been determined in the abdomen and aspirated. Patchy ischemia zones were observed in ileum, over serous face. No. 30 Pezzer’s drain was placed for the intention of drainage, extending from the right side of navel towards rectovesical area. After the drainage stopped patient was discharged from hospital with recovery on the 8th postoperative day. One day after the discharge, applied to another general surgery center, by complaining that the intestine protruded through an opening in its surrounding walls of the drain place and that has been gradually enlarged. During the operation it was determined that proximal 2/3 of gallbladder has been protruded to outside of abdomen. Cholecystectomy was performed, and patient recovery was uneventful.ConclusionsGallbladder herniation is a pathology requires emergency operation.
