ABSTRACT
Background:
Laparoscopic approach for colorectal resections is now very popular. Internal small bowel herniation [SBH] through a mesenteric defect has been recorded especially if the mesentery is not repaired. Although it's rare, it is a severe complication. Lack of postoperative adhesions is one advantage of minimally invasive surgery but it's also responsible for a higher incidence of internal hernias. These patients often present with intermittent abdominal pain or small bowel obstruction with completely normal contrast radiographs. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach with good treatment outcomes and is currently the standard surgery for colorectal cancer in Saudi Arabia
