Laparoscopic Anterior Gastropexy with a Technical Modification Using the Round Ligament for Internal Hernia of the Stomach after Sigmoid Colostomy: A Case Report

Introduction

Internal hernia involving the stomach associated with a sigmoid colostomy is extremely rare. The hernia defect is typically located between the colostomy limb and the left abdominal wall. Because only a few cases have been reported, no standardized management strategy has been established, particularly in patients in whom immediate colostomy closure is not appropriate.
