A rare case of herniation and incarceration of the gallbladder through the abdominal drain site in an 86-year-old woman with degenerative aortic valve disease, a severe aortic stenosis, and an aortic insufficiency grade 2 hospitalized for transcatheter aortic valve implantation is described. An incarcerated incisional hernia through the abdominal drain site was confirmed by contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography (MSCT) scan of the abdomen. Given the short duration of incarceration and the absence of MSCT findings of the gallbladder wall necrosis, the patient was dynamically monitored. There were no indications for emergency surgery. The presented case recalls the possibility of the formation of incisional hernias containing the gallbladder through the abdominal drain site. Literature data indicate that the diagnostic errors when they are incarcerated can lead to fatal consequences. |
