Paraduodenal herniation: An internal herniation in a virgin abdomen

Abstract: HighlightsA paraduodenal hernia is an uncommon hernia that results from an abnormal rotation of the midgut.Early diagnosis is imperative in order to avoid bowel ischemia, which is associated with high mortality.We present a case of a left-sided paraduodenal hernia in a virgin abdomen with a herniation of a loop of jejunum through a defect of the posterior portion of the ligament of Treitz.Treatment includes exploratory laparotomy, repair and reduction of the hernia, and laparoscopic repair.

“…This may reveal a cluster of small bowels at the ligament of Treitz with or without associated findings of small intestine obstruction [ 2 ]. An additional compression on the posterior stomach and distal duodenum results in inferior displacement of transverse colon and shifting of the mesenteric truck to the right [ 12 ]. However, instances of acute abdomen warrant omission of preoperative imaging and immediate exploratory laparotomy.…”

“…Excision of the hernia sac has been described but is not mandatory given the potential for injury to the colic vessels [ 14 ]. Correct identification and preservation of the vascular structures that constitute the hernia neck is essential [ 12 ]. Rarely, widening of the hernia neck is required to reduce the contents and may involve incision of constricting peritoneal fold inferiorly and even division of the inferior mesenteric vein in more difficult cases [ 15 ].…”

“…There are surgeons who recommend complete excision of the hernial sac but its application is generally avoided, as it may cause mesocolic or vascular injury (8,11). In the presence of necrosis, that is usually observed in advanced stage, resection may be required due to increased risk of mortality and morbidity (6,12). Laparoscopic approach has been reported to reduce postoperative pain, to shorten the length of hospital stay, to allow early oral feeding and to decrease postoperative morbidity (2).…”
