This case report describes a man in his 70s presenting with a 3-day history of abdominal pain and vomiting, despite normal bowel movements. Blood results revealed raised inflammatory markers, and computed tomography imaging suggested small bowel obstruction due to an incarcerated left inguinal hernia. Emergency surgery confirmed a Richter\u2019s hernia with a strangulated but viable bowel loop. Early surgical intervention led to a positive outcome. This case underscores the importance of high suspicion, early referral, and timely imaging in managing Richter\u2019s hernia to prevent severe complications, such as gangrene and perforation. Despite the absence of obstructive symptoms, early surgical intervention is critical when there is clinical concern regarding strangulation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,11]],"date-time":"2024-10-11T21:37:53Z","timestamp":1728682673000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Early surgical intervention is critical for strangulated Richter\u2019s hernia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2795-0922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher R","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, University Hospital Lewisham , Lewisham High St., London SE13 6LH,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michail","family":"Chatzikonstantinou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, University Hospital Lewisham , Lewisham High St., London SE13 6LH,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref1","volume-title":"Abhandlung von den Br\u00fcchen","author":"Richter","year":"1785"},{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"710","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-200011000-00014","article-title":"Richter's hernia and Sir Frederick Treves: an original clinical experience, review, and historical overview","volume":"232","author":"Steinke","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ann Surg"},{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref3","first-page":"60","article-title":"Richter's hernia--a surgical pitfall","volume":"182","author":"Kadirov","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Am Coll Surg"},{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1688","DOI":"10.18203\/2349-2902.isj20162778","article-title":"A case of Richter\u2019s hernia presenting after a previous inguinal herniorrhaphy","volume":"3","author":"Bali","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int Surg J"},{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2020-238252","article-title":"Obturator hernia of Richter type: a diagnostic dilemma","volume":"13","author":"Hayes","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/2012.6.6","article-title":"Richter\u2019s type strangulated femoral hernia containing caecum and appendix masquerading as a groin abscess","volume":"2012","author":"Arkoulis","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.776","article-title":"Strangulated Richter\u2019s incisional hernia presenting as an abdominal mass with necrosis of the overlapping skin: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"5","author":"Sahsamanis","year":"2017","journal-title":"Clin Case Rep"},{"key":"2024101121373995600_ref8","first-page":"129","article-title":"Suprapubic fecal fistula due to Richter's inguinal hernia: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"38","author":"Habib Faridi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Iran J Med Sci"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2024\/10\/rjae642\/59720189\/rjae642.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2024\/10\/rjae642\/59720189\/rjae642.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,11]],"date-time":"2024-10-11T21:37:55Z","timestamp":1728682675000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjae642\/7818326"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjae642","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-8812","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,1]]},"article-number":"rjae642"}}
