Perforated Incisional Richter’s Hernia through a very old Tubectomy scar A Case Report

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6

Abstract

Richter’s hernia is the protrusion or strangulation of a part of the circumference of the intestine's antimesenteric border and most common sites are the femoral ring, inguinal ring. The commonest entrapped part of the bowel is the distal ileum, but any part of the intestine may be involved. These hernias rapidly progress to gangrene as compared to other hernias, and obstruction is infrequent. We present a rare case of Richter’s hernia through an old incision in a lady operated for tubectomy thirty seven years back. Keywords: Richter’s hernia, obstructed hernia, Laparoscopic port.
