Abstract EN
Intersigmoid hernia is a rare form of internal hernia.
Here, we report a case of intersigmoid hernia and provide a brief review of the 62 cases involving the mesosigmoid reported in Japan from 2000 to 2013.
In the current case, a 26-year-old man with no previous history of abdominal surgery presented with abdominal pain and vomiting.
Abdominal computed tomography revealed an extensively dilated small bowel and a closed loop of small bowel in the mesosigmoid.
The patient was diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction due to an incarcerated internal hernia involving the mesosigmoid.
There was no blood flow obstruction at the incarcerated bowel.
An elective single-incision laparoscopic surgery was performed after decompression of the bowel using ileus tube.
As the ileum herniated into the intersigmoid fossa, the patient was diagnosed with an intersigmoid hernia.
The incarcerated small bowel was reduced in order to make it viable, and the hernial defect was closed with interrupted sutures.
The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on postoperative day five.
