New Site for Richter Hernia

Thomas W. Botsford, MD

Arch Surg. 1977;112(3):304-305.

Abstract
• This is a report of the first case, to my knowledge, of a Richter hernia occurring in a sacral foramen. A 60-year-old woman had gradual onset of postsacral pain and swelling. The area was drained and small intestinal contents found. Laparotomy showed that a Richter hernia had occurred in the third right sacral foramen. The bowel had incarcerated and perforated into the posterior sacral area, without leakage into the peritoneal cavity.
