title: [Computer tomographic diagnosis of an internal hernia].
abstract: A case is presented in which a transmesenteric hernia developed four weeks after transperitoneal laparoscopic left nephrectomy. The diagnosis of an internal hernia is best established by computer tomography; however, the signs have low sensitivity, and on suspicion of an internal hernia, early laparoscopy or laparotomy is recommended.
