Internal hernias are herniations of abdominal viscera, usually small bowel, through congenital or acquired openings of the peritoneum or mesentery. Congenital hernias may involve anatomic fossae such as the epiploic foramen as well as those related to abnormal peritoneal or mesenteric defects; these include left and right paraduodenal, transomental, transmesenteric, pericecal and broad ligament hernias. Acquired hernias are due to defects in the mesentery or peritoneum, usually resulting from prior surgeries, and include those associated with Roux-en-Y surgery as well as colorectal cancer resections.
