Abstract

We report a rare complication in a laparoscopy-assisted-colectomy. A 71-year-old woman underwent laparoscopy-assisted right colectomy for ascending colon cancer. On the 7th postoperative day, she experienced sudden abdominal pain accompanied by vomiting. Laparotomy revealed an internal hernia through the mesenteric defect at the anastomoticsite. Suturing the mesenteric defect is not commonly performed in the operative procedure of laparoscopy-assisted colectomy. However, some cases have been reported where the mesenteric defect caused internal hernia resulting in bowel obstruction. Therefore, our experience might indicate the need for closure of mesenteric opening for the prevention of post operative internal hernia.
