Abstract :

Introduction: Paracecal hernia is a rare type of internal hernia. Internal herniations is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction ranging from 0.6 to 5.8 %.Clinical presentation of the paracecal hernia are non specific , delay in the diagnosis may lead to strangulation. We report a case of paracecal hernia successfully operated by laparoscopy, along with review of literature . Case report: Presenting a case of 54 yr old male, who came with complaints of abdominal pain with obstipation for two days . CECT reported intestinal obstruction, pericolic hernia with proximal and mid ileal loops herniating. Laparoscopic surgery was done with successful reduction of the incarcerated intestinal loops. Conclusion: Clinical symptoms of paracecal hernia are vague , hence high index of suspicion and early intervention prevents strangulation and ischemia of the bowel. Minimal invasive surgery is a better surgical option for paracecal hernia to reduce morbidity and early recovery.
