Abstract

A 75-year-old man who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy for carcinoma of the duodenal papilla 3 years earlier and mesh repair for abdominal incisional hernia 1 year earlier was admitted with epigastralgia and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed small bowel obstruction. Intestinal tube insertion proved ineffective; therefore, laparoscopic ileus operation was performed. Adhesion between the mesh and mesentery had caused small bowel obstruction. This is a rare case of successful laparoscopic treatment of incisional hernia.
