Introduction: Transomental hernias are very uncommon form of internal hernias. Occasionally they may be seen in present clinical practice after bariatric surgery. Yet, this type of internal hernia remains mostly incidental and enigmatic in its presentation.
Clinical Findings: We present a case of transomental hernia that caused subacute small bowel obstruction in a patient with no past history of any surgical procedure, i.e. in a virgin abdomen.
Diagnosis And Therapeutic Intervention: CT Scan of the abdomen revealed the presence of transomental hernia and it was addressed by laparoscopic surgery and an uneventful postoperative outcome.
Conclusion: Transomental Hernias can be present in virgin abdomen also. Its presence should be considered in all suspicions of internal hernia occurrence even though they are commonly known to be associated with bariatric surgery, liver surgery, etc.

Background: Cellular senescence is considered a new marker of cancer. It has been suggested that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can be used to predict the prognosis of cancers. However, it remains to be seen whether the lncRNAs associated with cellular senescence can be used to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC).

The rising prevalence of obesity has led to an increase in bariatric procedures, with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) being one of the most commonly performed surgeries due to its efficacy and safety. However, internal hernia (IH) remains a significant complication post-LRYGB. The debate over preventive closure of mesenteric defects (MD) during LRYGB continues, with no consensus on the optimal technique.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, arising from incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct. MD contains all layers of the intestinal wall and often remains asymptomatic. Gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel obstruction, and acute diverticulitis occur in a few cases.
