Case report: elective removal of a large mesenteric cyst-our approach.

A mesenteric cyst is rare intra-abdominal pathology, with little literature to guide us on how to diagnose and manage it. We report the incident of a 57-year-old female who had an incidental finding of a sigmoid mesenteric cyst whilst undergoing an operation under the care of the Gynaecologists. A computed tomography scan and a flexible sigmoidoscopy followed to help diagnose the lesion as a cyst.

Emergency repair of Morgagni hernia with partial gastric volvulus: our approach.

Morgagni hernias are a rare form of congenital diaphragmatic hernias, thus there is paucity in literature about the diagnosis and management of the condition. We report an 83-year-old woman who presented with vomiting and a metabolic acidosis with a previous computed tomography diagnosis of Bochdalek's hernia. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a Morgagni hernia containing transverse colon, greater curvature of the stomach and a partial gastric volvulus.

Computed tomography in the investigation and management of obturator hernia.

Introduction: Obturator hernias are a rare groin hernia. They are most commonly found incidentally during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. We investigated our experience with obturator hernias in the elective and emergency setting.
