Internal herniation through the falciform ligament of the liver: a case report.

CONCLUSION: Small bowel herniation through an iatrogenic defect in the falciform ligament is very rare. However, it can lead to severe complications such as small bowel necrosis. To prevent internal herniation, we strongly suggest immediate repair or division of the falciform ligament when an iatrogenic defect is created during laparoscopic procedures.
