Internal herniation of the right colon through the foramen of Winslow: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Herniation through the Foramen of Winslow, also known as the epiploic foramen, is an extremely rare phenomenon with less than 200 cases reported in medical literature. Internal hernias account for less than 1% of all hernias and roughly 8% of all internal hernias occur through the foramen of Winslow. We present a case of a foramen of Winslow hernia that was not detected until direct visualization with laparoscopy.
