Abstract:
We here report an atypical case of small bowel obstruction ten days following repair of an inguinal hernia that had
been recurrently reduced. A preoperative diagnosis of this rare intestinal stenosis of Garré is difficult, and was based
on the clinical, operative and pathological findings. Forced reduction of a hernia is not recommended because of the
risk of rendering its contents ischaemic with subsequent fibrotic stenosis, or reducing a strangulated bowel into the
abdominal cavity with subsequent perforation and peritonitis.
