Gallbladder herniation through ventral hernia: A Case Report

Gallbladder herniation is an extremely rare entity. Risk factors include elderly age and the female gender. Complications of this disease includes incarceration, cholecystitis, volvulus, and ischemia/gangrene. While most of the surgical literature today describes cholecystectomy and surgical repair of hernia as part of the treatment process, we present a rare case of uncomplicated asymptomatic gallbladder herniation in a poor surgical candidate who was treated conservatively.
