description Littre’s hernias are exceedingly rare, with an estimated incidence of 0.09% in strangulated or incarcerated hernias. It may present as a complication of Meckel’s diverticulum in less than 1%. In the adult population, it presents as an inguinal (50%), femoral (20%) and umbilical (20%) hernias. Management of Meckel’s diverticulum when encountered during a routine repair of hernia in literature is generally resection. We present a case of a healthy 68-year-old gentleman who was found to have a Meckel’s diverticulum in the indirect hernia sac during routine elective open right inguinal hernia repair.
