INTRODUCTION
Internal hernias are primarily caused by the intestine stretching
through a mesenteric defect or peritoneum defect (1). They could be
acquired or congenital. A rare congenital defect called a para duodenal
hernia (PDH) is caused by a malrotation of the midgut (2). PDHs make up
53% of all internal hernias, making them the most frequent type (3).
Because of the variability of the clinical signs, PDHs are challenging
to identify (4). PDH may start as acute blockage or recurrent abdominal
pain symptoms (43%), or it may remain asymptomatic for the duration of
the patient’s life. Of all internal hernias, between 10 and 50 percent
are found after unrelated abdominal surgeries, imaging tests, or
autopsies (5). An abdominal computed tomography scan performed before
surgery is typically diagnostic, yet Frequently, the diagnosis is made
during surgery. Both minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures and
conventional open approaches can be used to undertake surgical
treatments. Here, we report on an adult man’s successful laparoscopic
repair of a left PDH, as well as the preoperative radiological
diagnostic.
