  • Title: [Rare internal hernia in the falciform ligament as a rare course of abdominal emergency and infrequent cause of ileus].
    Author: Cagaš J, Vlček P, Jeřábek J.
    Journal: Rozhl Chir; 2012 Oct; 91(10):558-60. PubMed ID: 23157477.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal obstruction caused by an internal hernia is considered to be a rare cause of ileus. The rarest of these is herniation through the falciform ligament. In our article we present the case of a 45-year old female patient operated on for small bowel herniation through a defect in the falciform ligament. The loops were laparoscopically repositioned into the free abdominal cavity and the defect was removed by electrocautery. After the operation the patient was stabilised and discharged into outpatient care. Our article also analyses relevant literature and the diagnostic methods because the abovementioned diagnosis is rare and often established as late as postoperatively. Key words: internal hernia - the falciform ligament - iatrogenous defect in the falciform ligament.
