A cross sectional study to investigate internal hernia post left-sided colectomy preserving superior rectal artery

ConclusionsSRA preservation and stoma construction are potential risk factors for internal hernia after laparoscopic left-sided colectomy. Lifting of the SRA due to stoma construction possibly enlarges the space between the SRA and aorta. When colostomy is created, it is important to evaluate the space behind the SRA.
