Sliding colonic Maydl's hernia: report of a case.
An unusual variety of Maydl's hernia (hernia-in-W) in which all the herniated loops were colon is reported. The unusual anatomy of the hernia and its variations are described. It is important to examine the intraperitoneal intestine between the incarcerated loops in an effort to avoid leaving a nonviable segment of intraperitoneal intestine after repair of the hernia.
