In this paper, we present the case of OHin two patients. Both patients were admitted to the emergencydepartment with the symptoms of ileus. Incarcerated OHdiagnosis was made after evaluations. One of the patients, whounderwent emergency surgery, had necrosis and small intestineresection was performed. OH, defect was repaired in bothpatients and serious postoperative complications developed. OH,is a clinical condition associated with high morbidity and mortalityin incarcerated cases.
