Abstract: Hernias are abnormal bulges or openings in the fascia of the abdominal wall which can be present in any area of the abdominal wall fascia. Most common location of hernias are on the anterior abdominal wall (umbilical) and groin regions (inguinal, femoral). These are characterized as; reducible when the contents within the hernia can be placed intra-abdominally through the layers of the abdominal wall, incarcerated when contents of the hernia are not able to be reduced and strangulated hernia occurs when the hernia contents are ischemic due to a compromised blood supply. We are presenting case of 63-year gentleman diagnosed with strangulated paraumbilical hernia, who underwent laparotomy with resection and anastomosis and primary closure of defect in intermittent fashion.
