Paracecal hernia is rarely associated with ischemia and has seldom been reported in the few published studies in the review literature. We present a case of incarcerated paracecal hernia with intestinal obstruction that was effectively treated with laparoscopic intervention. A 64-year-old woman who had not previously undergone any intestinal surgery arrived complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting at our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography suggested intestinal obstruction. A laparoscopic emergency procedure demonstrated an incarcerated small bowel loop in the paracecal region. The confined small bowel was removed from the paracecal area. On the fourth postoperative day, the patient was discharged. This case is unusual because the patient presented with small bowel strangulation, leading to intestinal obstruction. Laparoscopic surgery is beneficial for diagnosing internal hernias and curing small-bowel obstructions caused by paracecal hernias.

Background And Aims: Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are effective in alleviating malignant colorectal obstruction. However, bowel perforation following SEMS placement remains a significant concern, as it can adversely affect oncological outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the recurrence and overall survival rates associated with SEMS-related bowel perforations.

The global rise in diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly type 2 diabetes (T2D), has become a major public health challenge. According to the "hygiene hypothesis", helminth infections may offer therapeutic benefits for DM. These infections are known to modulate immune responses, reduce inflammation, and improve insulin sensitivity.
