“…described the laparoscopic management of SBO of various etiologies, and concluded that the laparoscopic approach was safe and effective, especially in patients with isolated bands, simple enteral angulation and foreign bodies or tumors [29] . There are not enough reports on the successful reduction of internal hernias by laparoscopic surgery [30] , [31] . In the present study, we experienced one case in which a patient with an internal hernia was initially treated via a laparoscopic approach.…”

BackgroundOpen laparotomy is widely accepted as the standard surgical treatment for small bowel obstruction (SBO). However, laparoscopic surgery has recently become a treatment option. There is no consensus on the appropriate settings for the laparoscopic treatment of SBO. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for SBO.Patients and methodsFrom January 2012 to May 2016, 48 consecutive patients underwent surgical treatment for SBO in our department. We retrospectively reviewed these cases and compared the features and the outcomes between laparoscopic and open surgery.ResultsThirty-four and 14 patients underwent open surgery and laparoscopic surgery, respectively. Four of the laparoscopic cases (28.6%) were converted to open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery tended to be associated with a shorter operative time than open surgery (p = 0.066). The first postoperative oral intake was significantly earlier in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery (p = 0.044). The duration of hospitalization after surgery and the rates of postoperative complications did not differ to a statistically significant extent. Laparoscopic treatment was accomplished in 7 out of 8 cases (87.5%) with SBO due to band occlusion.ConclusionLaparoscopic surgery for SBO is less invasive than open surgery and is equally feasible in selected patients. SBO due to band occlusion may be a preferable indication for laparoscopic surgery. In order to confirm the safety of laparoscopic treatment, and to clarify the appropriate settings for laparoscopic surgery for SBO, it will be necessary to perform further studies in a larger population and with a long follow-up period.

“…Laparoscopic surgery is highly diagnostic, but is also minimally-invasive in comparison with open surgery. There have been seven prior reports of pericecal hernia treated using laparoscopy [ 5 , 10 , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ].…”

“…Hernial fossae have historically been closed using sutures or left wide open to avoid recurrence [9][10][11][12][13][14] . Ogami et al reported that the current trend is to leave the hernia open, because it is technically simple and easy intracorporeally compared with suturing hernia orifice 13) .…”

Introduction: Paracecal hernia on the lateral side of the cecum is one of the least common types of internal hernia. We report herein a case of paracecal hernia on the lateral side of the cecum that was successfully diagnosed preoperatively by computed tomography (CT) and treated laparoscopically. Case presentation: A 95-year-old man with a history of appendectomy was referred to our hospital for further evaluation. He was admitted with a diagnosis of small bowel obstruction (SBO) and was treated conservatively with placement of a long intestinal tube. Symptoms and abdominal findings immediately improved, but a large amount of fluid continued to be drained. We therefore carefully reevaluated the obstruction. CT revealed SBO caused by paracecal hernia resulting from intestinal invagination into a pouch on the lateral side of the cecum. Laparoscopic surgery was performed on hospital day 8, and we intraoperatively confirmed and repaired lateral paracecal hernia. The patient was discharged without major complications. Conclusions: Preoperative diagnosis of internal hernia, including paracecal hernia, is relatively difficult. CT represents the most successful diagnostic modality, but requires careful examination, and laparoscopic surgery can play a useful role in definitive diagnosis and repair of SBO. Moreover, preopera
