Bowel Herniation

Abstract Background Bowel herniation through a defect in the broad ligament of the uterus is a rare disease and few cases of recurrence have been reported. We report herein a recurrence case of a patient with broad ligament hernia (BLH), along with a review of the literature. Case presentation A 53-year-old woman complaining of abdominal pain was transported to our hospital. She had a history of laparotomy for small-bowel obstruction associated with hernia in the broad ligament of the uterus 10 years ago at a local hospital. Abdominal pelvic contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed that the mesentery of the dilated bowels converged at a thick band in the pelvis, suggesting closed loop obstruction of the small bowel. The patient underwent urgent laparotomy and was diagnosed with bowel herniation through an opening in the broad ligament of the uterus on the right side, which was ipsilateral with the previous surgery. The hernia orifice was widened by incision and incarcerated bowel segments were released and preserved because ischemia was reversible. The membranous defect of BLH was closed by suture with braded silk strings. Conclusions Although BLH is a rare disease, patients face a significant risk of disease recurrence. Nonabsorbable suture may be advisable for closure of the hernia orifice in BLH.

Internal Hernias

Abstract INTRODUCTION Internal hernias caused by broad ligament defects are an infrequent cause of bowel obstruction. These defects may be congenital or acquired mainly by gynecological antecedents. Small bowel is the most common affected and the diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific symptoms and absences of characteristic radiological signs. MATERIAL AND METHODS We report the cases of three women aged from 43 to 56 years old, who came to the emergency with abdominal pain, vomiting and bloating of hours duration. One patient has a history of laparoscopic appendectomy, the rest of them with no surgical history. In all of the cases, x-rays showed dilatation of small bowel loops and air-fluid levels and the abdominal TC revealed a generalized distention of bowel loops with transition point in the terminal ileum with no identifiable cause compatible with small bowel obstruction. RESULTS We decided to perform an urgent surgery with an exploratory laparotomy in one case and the rest by laparoscopic approach, finding an internal hernia occasioned by incarceration of small bowel through a broad ligament defect. In all cases, the hernia content was liberated without evidence of ischemia with no need for intestinal resection, and the defect was closed. All patients had a favourable postoperative course without complications. DISCUSSION Broad ligament defects are a rare cause of internal hernias. These are difficult to diagnose clinically as well as radiologically for an absence of characteristic signs. A high level of clinical suspicion allows early diagnosis and the treatment should be performed as soon as possible to reduce the chances of intestinal necrosis.
