abstract ={Foramen of Winslow hernia is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, historically linked to high morbidity and
mortality. With the progression of high-resolution imaging devices, the early diagnosis of this pathology
can be safely made. This has caused significant improvement in outcomes, where prompt surgical reduction
can be readily organized. There has, however, not been any reported case of Meckel’s diverticulum driving
this internal hernia. This is a case report of a foramen of Winslow hernia (FOWH) containing a Meckel’s
diverticulum, managed via laparoscopic reduction of hernia contents and diverticulectomy.}
