    Anticipation of complications is of paramount importance for a surgeon. Incisional hernia is a well-known
    complication for abdominal surgeries. Risk factors such as increasing age, obesity, male gender are well
    known. Intestinal obstruction, strangulation and perforation are imminent complications of this type of
    hernia if they become incarcerated. Common contents of a ventral incisional hernia are small bowel, large
    bowel and omentum. Even though Meckel’s diverticulum is a common gastrointestinal anomaly, it is rarely
    found to be the content of a hernial sac. A hernia sac containing Meckel’s diverticulum is also known as
    Littre’s hernia. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Thus here we present a case of
    perforated Meckel’s diverticulum that was entrapped in the ventral incisional hernia.
