Broad ligament hernia

Discussion:

The CT findings are in keeping with complete bowel obstruction secondary to a broad ligament internal hernia (of the right side).

The patient was operated laparoscopically, a herniated short segment of the terminal ileum through a broad ligament defect was found. The herniated bowel loop was viable and clean with no evidence of incarceration. The broad ligament defect was closed with surgical sutures.
The patient discharged after 2 days with no postoperative complications.
