“…Internal hernia is a rare cause of SBO, with transomental hernia, which accounts for only 1–4% of all internal hernias, being even rarer [ 1 , 2 ]. Spontaneous transomental hernia typically occurs because of senile atrophy of the greater omentum in patients with no history of abdominal surgery, trauma or inflammatory disease [ 3 ].…”

“…Internal hernia is one of the causes of small bowel obstruction (SBO) in patients with no history of surgery. Although the incidence of internal hernia in SBO is 5.8%, transomental hernias are particularly rare, constituting only 1–4% of all internal hernias [ 1 , 2 ]. Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive than laparotomy for acute bowel obstruction.…”

Here, we report two patients with transomental hernia who were successfully treated with laparoscopic surgery. The first patient was a 58-year-old female who presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and vomiting; she had no history of abdominal surgery. Enhanced computed tomography revealed strangulation ileus due to an internal hernia. The second patient was a 36-year-old male who presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and no history of abdominal surgery. Enhanced computed tomography indicated transomental hernia. Emergency laparoscopic surgery in both patients revealed incarcerated bowel loops through defects in the greater omentum. The bowel segments were laparoscopically released, and the patients were uneventfully discharged on postoperative Days 4 and 8. Laparoscopic surgery is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of small bowel obstruction due to transomental hernia through the greater omentum.

“…Since almost 2 million abdominal operations are performed in the United States every year, the problem is not trivial. 4,5 These hernias can be particularly bothersome due to their high recurrence and complication rates. Obesity is one of the leading causes of the development of incisional hernias.…”
