Core Tip	Transmesosigmoid hernia is a rare condition. We report a case of transmesosigmoid hernia. In addition, we carried out a comprehensive literature analysis and summarized the important clinical traits. Our data indicated for the first time that small bowel obstruction due to transmesosigmoid hernia can easily lead to strangulation, with the defect being 2-5 cm in diameter. It is necessary to reassess the condition timely and periodically if patients receive conservative treatment.
