Rare Case of Right Paraduodenal Hernia Leading to Intestinal Obstruction: A Clinical and Surgical Insight

A right paraduodenal hernia, a rare type of internal hernia, can lead to serious complications such as intestinal obstruction and bowel gangrene if left untreated. This case report discusses a 25yearold male patient who presented with acute abdominal pain, bilious vomiting, and constipation. Diagnostic imaging revealed small bowel obstruction, and surgery confirmed the presence of a herniated small bowel loop behind the ascending colon, with extensive gangrene up to the ileocecal junction. The patient underwent surgical resection of the gangrenous bowel and anastomosis. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with followup showing no further complications. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and surgical intervention in managing paraduodenal hernias to prevent lifethreatening outcomes.
