Healthy Life Centers have recently been added to Turkey's health system as a new service model. ⋯ Satisfaction from a healthy life center which is built as a new service model is not at the expected level yet. More studies like this one which is a first in its field in terms of methodology will set the ground for a better understanding of the service receivers' expectations and perceptions. That is how the decision-makers can shape up this new service model according to expectations.

A transmesenteric internal hernia (TIH) is a protrusion of a viscus through the mesenteric defect. It is secondary to previous gastrointestinal surgery in an adult. Early diagnosis and management are warranted to prevent the strangulation of the bowel in a TIH. ⋯ We have diagnosed this case intraoperatively with gangrene of the bowel. In an abdominal cocoon without any history suggestive of tuberculosis or previous surgery, or any other condition that leads to an intra-abdominal reaction, an internal hernia should be kept as a differential diagnosis. The delay in diagnosis and surgical intervention is associated with potentially disastrous complications.
