| Whakarāpopotonga: | In this report, we have presented a rare case of spontaneous transomental hernia that presented as a small bowel obstruction in a patient with a virgin abdomen and that was subsequently discovered and treated successfully in our hospital. Preoperative diagnosis of a transomental hernia is often challenging because clinical symptoms are non-specific and similar to those of other causes of acute bowel obstruction, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, and constipation [3,4,8,9]. [...]transomental hernias have a high postoperative mortality rate of 30%, making prompt diagnosis and emergency treatment essential [3,4,8-10]. Conclusions Bowel obstruction can present with varied etiologies and may require a systematic approach to evaluation and management. |
