ABSTRACT

The article discusses a case where right paraduodenal hernia was identified holding almost 1 meter of the jejunum. Afferent and efferent loops of jejunum could be seen entering and leaving the hernia sac. The medial border of the hernia neck consisted of the superior mesenteric and ileocolic artery; the upper and lateral borders were transverse mesocolon. The ascending and descending colon were fixated normally on the posterior abdominal wall. The jejunum was easily reduced into the peritoneal cavity and the hernia defect was closed with interrupted sutures. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient reported that his preoperative symptoms had not returned.
