Strangulated Internal Hernia Behind the Common Iliac Artery Following Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection.
We report a rare case of a strangulated internal hernia behind the common iliac artery after robot-assisted pelvic lymph node dissection. Internal hernias involving the retroperitoneal vascular axis have been reported four times in medical literature. This is the first time it has been seen after robotic surgery.
