Abstract:
We report a rare case of a 20 year old patient with a transmesenteric hernia leading to small bowel obstruction and intestinal necrosis. An intestinal resection removed the necrotic portion and the mesenteric defect. Then, an immediate end-to-end anastomosis was realized. Transmesenteric hernia is a rare but serious entity. The surgical management must be rapid because of the increased risk of intestinal necrosis.
