Title: An internal hernia caused by Meckel's diverticulum ：A Case Report

Reviewer's report:  
Dear Authora  
My comment as below:  
Both the abstract section and the case report section of this article should be written better. 
Preoperative leukocyte count, direct abdominal radiography, and weight should be indicated. It is 
better to write the word "female patient" instead of "lady"  
The image quality of the photographs should be corrected. You can solve this problem by using 
the original size of the photos or by enlarging proportionally  
I recommend that the authors benefit from  the following articles on incarceration of Meckel's 
diverticulum:  
Gastrointestinal perforation due to incarcerated Meckel's diverticulum in right femoral canal. 
World J Clin Cases 2014 Jun 16;2(6):232 -4. 
Coexistence of abdominal cocoon, intestinal perfor ation and incarcerated Meckel's diverticulum 
in an inguinal hernia: A troublesome condition. World J Gastrointest Surg. 2014 Mar 27;6(3):51 -
