ABSTRACT
A-57-year-old male patient suddenly developed cramping pain in the left lower abdomen with a slight abdominal distension. He had undergone a laparoscopic nephrectomy for transitional cell carcinoma 7 days earlier. An abdominal CT scan revealed a dilated small bowel loop and an internal hernia was suspected. Surgery revealed a herniation of the jejunal loop through defects in the retroperitoneum, which was successfully reduced. We report a case of an internal hernia following a laparoscopic nephrectomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported case of an internal hernia as a complication of laparoscopic nephrectomy.
