The ileum and transverse colon are shown traversing the foramen of Winslow. There is no evidence of the cecum; B - Intraoperative findings post-reduction of cecal bascule herniation through Foramen of Winslow. The cecum and right colon appeared viable.

case_images: After fixed retractors were placed, the appendix was noted to be in the right upper quadrant near the gallbladder and liver edge (Figure 2A). Adhesions were lysed and the hernia sac was partially excised facilitating reduction of the cecal bascule (Figure 2B). The right colon mesentery was noted to be highly redundant (Figure 2B).
