Laparoscopic Peritoneal Flap Closure for Internal Hernia Associated with Colostomy: Two Case Reports.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionInternal hernia associated with colostomy (IHAC) is a rare but serious complication after colorectal surgery, especially when performed via the intraperitoneal route. Optimal treatment strategies remain unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: We report 2 cases of recurrent bowel obstruction caused by IHAC following laparoscopic Hartmann's procedure or laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR) performed via the intraperitoneal route in patients aged 74 and 83 years. Both patients underwent laparoscopic peritoneal flap closure (LPFC), in which the peritoneum was dissected and sutured to the lifted colon to close the lateral space of the colostomy. The procedures were successful, with favorable postoperative courses and no recurrence of IHAC in either case.
conclusionsThe present cases demonstrate that LPFC is a safe and effective technique for repairing IHAC, particularly when conventional methods, such as omental patching or extraperitoneal stoma creation, are not feasible. This approach may also serve as a preventive measure against IHAC if performed during the primary surgery.
