- Abstract
Sciatic hernia is a rare type of pelvic floor hernia. The herniated tissue can include the ureter, small and large bowel, and ovary, among other tissues. Only a few cases of laparoscopic treatment for a sciatic hernia with small-bowel incarceration have been reported. We report our experience using a laparoscopic approach for treatment of sciatic hernia in an 83-year-old woman and review the literature on sciatic hernias. The patient was referred to our hospital complaining of constipation and abdominal bloating. Computed tomography (CT) scanning showed a right sciatic hernia containing the small bowel. Laparoscopic repair of the sciatic hernia was performed using a self-fixating mesh. The patient was discharged after an uneventful postoperative course and has not developed abdominal bloating or constipation postoperatively. In conclusion, a sciatic hernia was successfully repaired using a laparoscopic trans-preperitoneal approach and ProGrip Self-Fixating Mesh.
