{Abstract}: Inguinal hernia is common. However, only a few cases have been reported in the literature of inguinal interparietal hernia, in which the herniated sac exits the intraperitoneal cavity through the deep inguinal ring and then protrudes into one of the anatomical planes of the anterior abdominal wall. Only one of the reported inguinal interparietal hernia cases was managed laparoscopically. We report the case of a right inguinal interparietal hernia in a young, healthy adult with a herniated cecum, terminal ileum, and appendix. He presented with right iliac fossa pain. On investigation, he was found to have an interparietal hernia in the inguinal region. Diagnostic laparoscopy showed a clear herniated cecum through the internal inguinal ring into the anterior abdominal wall. The patient was treated with regular laparoscopic hernioplasty and was discharged on the second postoperative day with no complications. Although the diagnosis might be difficult for interparietal hernias, laparoscopic diagnosis and management provide precise assessment and less invasive management.
