Littre’s hernia: A Surgical dilemma. (Case Report)

Ketan Vagholkar, Isha Bhatnagar, Narender Narang.

Abstract
Meckel’s diverticulum in a hernia sac is designated as a Littre’s hernia. It is an uncommon type of hernia. The diagnosis is invariably made at the time of surgery. Resection anastomosis of the adjacent segment of the small bowel with the diverticulum is a contentious issue. A case of Littre’s hernia is reported.
A case of Littre’s hernia in a17 year old boy is reported to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic issues confronting the attending surgeon. A short segment resection anastomosis of the small bowel along with the Meckel’s diverticulum was done. A herniorrhaphy was done with no complications.
The diagnostic challenges and the dilemma of selecting the best option for removing the Meckel’s diverticulum and choice of hernia repair are discussed.
Littre’s hernia is invariably diagnosed intraoperatively. A short segment resection anastomosis of the adjacent small bowel along with the Meckel’s diverticulum prevents complications arising due to the diverticulum. A herniorrhaphy for a young patient and the use of an absorbable mesh for other age groups is advisable.

Key words: Meckel’s Diverticulum Littre’s Hernia Treatment
