Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed the small bowel herniation through the 5-mm port site placed at the anterior axillary line (Figure 2).
Images showing operative findings: (a) an incision over the 5-mm wound was made. (b, c) A Richter's hernia was found as the anti-mesenteric border of a small bowel loop was protruding into the fascia defect. (d) No signs of ischemia were found.
