ACUTE SMALL BOWEL OBSTRUCTION CAUSED BY TRANSMESENTERIC HERNIA STRANGULATION IN A YOUNG MAN: A CASE REPORT

We report a rare case of a young patient (20-year-old) with a transmesenteric hernia leading to small bowel obstruction and intestinal necrosis. An intestinal resection removed the necrotic portion and the mesenteric defect. Then, an immediate end-to-end anastomosis was realized. Transmesenteric hernia is a rare but serious entity. The surgical management must be rapid because of the increased risk of intestinal necrosis.
