Abstract
A case of small bowel obstruction secondary to a left paraduodenal hernia is illustrated together with its radiological features and intra-operative appearance. Paraduodenal hernias are rare congenital causes of small bowel obstruction, and various approaches to surgical treatment are available including conventional open and minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This case presents one possible option for surgical management and briefly reviews the literature for the various surgical techniques and strategies available to the surgeon when faced with a left paraduodenal hernia.
