We experienced a case of a broad ligament hernia of the uterus, which is relatively rare among the cases of internal hernia that were treated by less invasive laparoscopic surgery.
If intestinal ischemia can be ruled out, a less invasive laparoscopic surgery may be performed after intestinal decompression.
Making a diagnosis of broad ligament hernia of the uterus by CT can lead to easier and safer laparoscopic surgery and shorter operation time.
It is often difficult to diagnose desmoid tumor because of the lack of specific imaging studies. A 45-year-oldmanunderwentlaparoscopy-assisteddistalgastrectomyforgastriccancerM0Ⅱ c,cT1N0M0, cStageIA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
