The falciform ligament is a thin fold of peritoneum that attaches the liver to the anterior abdominal wall and the diaphragm. Its defect refers to an abnormal opening in the falciform ligament, a very rare condition that can be congenital or due to acquired causes. In this report, we present a case of a 42-year-old patient with a large asymptomatic falciform ligament defect incidentally discovered during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Due to the potential risk of small bowel herniation through the defect, we recommend cutting the remaining ligament to avoid this unwanted complication, as we did here.
镰状韧带是一层薄的腹膜皱襞，它将肝脏与前腹壁和膈肌相连。其缺损是指镰状韧带出现异常开口，这是一种非常罕见的情况，可为先天性或后天性原因所致。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例42岁患者，在腹腔镜袖状胃切除术期间偶然发现有一个巨大的无症状镰状韧带缺损。由于存在小肠通过该缺损发生疝出的潜在风险，我们建议像在此处所做的那样，切断剩余的韧带以避免这种不良并发症。
