Implication

This case report highlights surgical treatment of small bowel obstruction caused by internal hernias, suggesting improved outcomes with timely intervention.

Key Points

Small bowel obstruction was successfully treated after identifying an internal hernia in a 74-year-old man.
A 2.5 cm defect in the greater omentum was revealed via computed tomography, leading to timely surgical intervention.
Exploratory laparotomy and surgical reduction of the herniated segment were performed, ensuring a smooth recovery for the patient.
This case underscores the rarity of internal hernias, accounting for less than 1% of small bowel obstruction cases.
