ABSTRACT

Paracecal hernias are a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. The management of these has been predominantly by laparotomy. An 84-year-old male was presented who underwent early laparoscopic management of a paracecal hernia. This resulted in avoidance of laparotomy and a short postoperative hospital stay.

Keywords: Paracecal hernia, Bowel obstruction, Laparoscopy
