Laparoscopic treatment of a transmesocolic internal hernia causing small bowel obstruction: A case report

Figure 1 Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis. A and B: Axial section shows multiple dilated, fluid-filled small bowel loops with preserved valvulae conniventes in the anterior and left mid-abdomen, consistent with proximal small bowel obstruction; an abrupt transition point is identified at a collapsed small bowel loop in the left paraumbilical region, beyond which the distal loops are decompressed.
