Abstract
Pouch of Douglas hernias are uncommon forms of pelvic hernia. They are most commonly seen in multiparous, elderly women and those having undergone previous pelvic surgery (Stamatiou et al. in Am Surg 76(5):474-479, 2010). Herein, we present a case of a 77-year-old female presenting with groin pain due to a Pouch of Douglas hernia. She had no previous abdominal or pelvic surgery. This was repaired via a trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal approach and the patient's symptoms resolved. To our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature of an idiopathic Pouch of Douglas hernia managed laparoscopically.
