“…Of these, torsion or volvulus of the gallbladder may be the most common cause of strangulation [1, 9]. According to previous reports, other conditions causing strangulation include herniation into the foramen Winslow [4–6], incisional hernia [7, 8] and strangulation associated with the omentum [2, 3]. …”

Strangulation of the gallbladder associated with the omentum is extremely rare and, to our knowledge, only two cases have been previously reported. The patient was a 91-year-old female who presented to our emergency room with a chief complaint of upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography imaging revealed a gourd-shaped gallbladder with biphasic appearance divided clearly at the body. In the fundus side, the wall of the gallbladder was oedematous and thickened, while the neck side was intact. On the second day after onset, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. A tip of the omentum encircling the gallbladder was adhered to the abdominal wall and was strangling the gallbladder. By cutting the omentum at the attachment site, the strangulation was released. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, and the patient was discharged with an uneventful course. We experienced an extremely rare case of strangulated gallbladder caused by a tip of the omentum attached to the abdominal wall.

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.

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.
