Complementary tube cecostomy in the management of strangulated right Richter's inguinal hernia of the cecum.
Strangulated right Richter's inguinal hernia of the cecum is relatively rare. A case of this unusual hernia was successfully managed with a wedge resection and closure of the infarcted bowel wall in conjunction with complementary tube cecostomy. The procedure is easy to perform and relatively safe and is therefore recommended for use in selected cases of Richter's hernia of the cecum.
