Abstract
This article presents the clinical case of a 64-year-old patient with a history of hypertension (HTN) and diabetes, who underwent multiple surgeries. She was admitted for a strangulated ventral hernia complicated by intestinal perforation and generalized peritonitis. After emergency management, including small bowel resection, stoma formation, and peritoneal lavage, the patient showed a favorable recovery following a stay in intensive care and digestive rehabilitation. This case highlights the severity of complications associated with ventral hernias and underscores the importance of timely surgical intervention 1,2
