  • Title: Laparoscopic repair of left paraduodenal hernia: Report of two cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Kulkarni GV, Salgaonkar HP, Sharma PC, Chakkarvarty NR, Katara AN, Bhandarkar DS.
    Journal: Asian J Endosc Surg; 2016 May; 9(2):157-60. PubMed ID: 27117968.
    Abstract:
    Internal hernia is the cause of only 1% of intestinal obstructions, and left paraduodenal hernias (PDH) comprise about 50% of these cases. As the presentation of PDH is varied, diagnosis is often delayed. Here, we report two patients with left PDH presenting in a subacute manner and diagnosed rapidly with the help of a CT scan. Both underwent successful laparoscopic repair; one patient had closure of the defect, and the other required excision of the sac prior to the closure. We review 21 cases of left PDH treated laparoscopically that were previously reported in the literature, including 14 from Asian countries.
