Cecal volvolus herniation through the Winslow Foramen: a case report and literature review of surgical management.

Both cecal volvolus and Winslow hernia are rare clinical presentations accounting for 1-1.5 and 0.08% of bowel obstructions. The combination of the two phenomena has been described so far in 13 case reports. Our patient underwent laparotomy with lesser Sac opening, manual hernia reduction, right hemicolectomy and partial Foramen closure with two simple stitches of PDS 4.0. Due to the scarcity of literature guidelines are not available, the intraoperative state of the tissues and the likelihood of a hernia recurrence play a decisive role in surgical management.
