Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic approach for colorectal resections is now very popular. Internal small bowel herniation (SBH) through a mesenteric defect has been recorded especially if the mesentery is not repaired. Although it’s rare, it is a severe complication. Lack of postoperative adhesions is one advantage of minimally invasive surgery but it’s also responsible for a higher incidence of internal hernias. These patients often present with intermittent abdominal pain or small bowel obstruction with completely normal contrast radiographs. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach with good treatment outcomes and is currently the standard surgery for colorectal cancer in Saudi Arabia.
Objective: the aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence and outcome of internal hernias after laparoscopic procedure in King Abdul-Aziz Hospital & Oncology Center.
Patients and methods: a total of 372 patients underwent laparoscopic colon resection surgery for colon cancer during the study period from August 2015 to October 2016 in King Abdul-Aziz Hospital & oncology center. Results: our result found that internal hernia was reported 48 times.
