Internal hernias: No bulge, no hernia?

Andrew D. Chou, Colin G. Kaide

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Internal hernias are a rare and easily missed cause of small bowel obstruction that occur in patients who have previously undergone bariatric surgery. A high index of suspicion must be maintained, as imaging and laboratory testing may be negative even with active pathology.
