Text Extraction

A 58-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to vomiting and abdominal pain with a clinical picture consistent with incarcerated post- operative ventral hernia, several years after undergoing a hysterectomy. A contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated an incarcerated right colon within a post-operative ventral hernia. A single stone in the gallbladder was also seen (Figure 1a). The patient underwent an emergent laparotomy with resection of the ischemic right colon and primary anastomosis.
