“…A gallbladder hernia is a rare event with only a small number of published case reports. The gallbladder has been reported to herniate spontaneously through a ventral defect in the abdominal wall [ 3 , 4 ], or through a parastomal [ 5 – 7 ], incisional [ 8 – 10 ] or epigastric [ 11 ] hernia site. A review of these case reports is able to elicit patterns of presentation and management (Table 1 ).…”

“…This was not performed in this present case report to not risk the blood supply to the ileoconduit. Some reported primary closure of the defect [ 3 , 6 , 10 ] and others performed a mesh closure [ 4 , 7 ], either of which do not report significant complications. Of note, one case report was able to reduce the hernia and complete the cholecystectomy laparoscopically [ 4 ].…”

BackgroundIncarcerated abdominal wall hernias may contain a variety of contents, but very rarely contains the gallbladder. This rare diagnosis is often not considered and, when diagnosed, has a different management approach. The experience of the small number of case reports have yet to be collected and summarised.Case presentationWe report a presentation and management of an 85 year old Caucasian female with a gallbladder hernia into a parastomal defect, and outline the operative management.ConclusionIncarcerated gallbladder hernia is an extremely unusual condition, best diagnosed by CT scan. Management should involve operative reduction, cholecystectomy and consideration of repair of the defect.

“…It is possible that features characteristic of elderly people are responsible for this rare condition, such as a decreased amount of adipose tissue, connective tissue transformation, and the ptotic nature of the gallbladder as a result of the elongation of the peritoneal lining [8]. Based on the literature on the herniation of the gallbladder in PubMed, we can conclude that the mean age of the patients was high (between 40 and 96 years) and the majority of the patients were female [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], as in our case.…”

Incarcerated gallbladder in inguinal hernia: a case report and literature review

Background Treating hernias is one of the oldest challenges in surgery. The gallbladder as content in the case of abdominal hernias has only been reported in a few cases in the current literature. Cholecyst has only been described in the content of an inguinofemoral hernia in one case to date. Case presentation A 73-year-old female patient was admitted to the Emergency Department due to complaints in the right inguinal area, which had started 1 day earlier. The patient complained of cramp-like abdominal pain and nausea. Physical examination confirmed an apple-sized, irreducible hernia in the right inguinal region. Abdominal ultrasound confirmed an oedematous intestinal loop in a 70-mm-long hernial sac, with no circulation detected. Abdominal X-ray showed no signs of passage disorder. White blood cell count and C-reactive protein level were elevated, and hepatic enzymes were normal in the laboratory findings. Exploration was performed via an inguinal incision on the right side, an uncertain cystic structure was found in the hernial sac, and several small abnormal masses were palpated there. The abdominal cavity was explored from the middle midline laparotomy. During the exploration, the content of the hernial sac was found to be the fundus of the significantly ptotic, large gallbladder. Cholecystectomy and Bassini’s repair of the inguinal hernia were performed safely. Conclusions Following a review of the literature, it can be concluded that the finding of incarcerated gallbladder in the content of an inguinal hernia is a rare finding. No other similar emergency case and successful surgical intervention have been reported before.

“…Epigastric hernia is a frequent surgical procedure and most of the time hernial sac contains pre-peritonial fat, omentum and bowel. 1 Hernial sac containing gall bladder is a rare entity. 2 Its symptoms may include intermittent or recurrent epigastric pain, abdominal distention, fever but their diagnosis is often an incidental finding.…”

An obstructed epigastric hernia containing gall bladder is a very rare entity and there are only few cases described in literature previously. A 69 year old woman presented at the emergency department at 1.00 a.m. with complains of pain and swelling in upper abdomen and having recurrent vomiting. As patient was sick and there was no imaging facility available at that time, patient was taken to OT in view of obstructed epigastric hernia. When abdomen was opened hernia sac containing gall bladder was seen. Then cholecystectomy and repair of the abdominal wall defect were performed. The patient recovered very well and was discharged on day 7.
