Looking for information on

For the last year I have had severe abdominal pain in the forms of attacks that has landed me in the emergency room on several occasions. (I am two years post op, lap rny)Finally after 6 months and running just about every test my doctor decided to remove my gall bladder. After surgery he said he had discovered a "Peterson Hernia" which he believes was the cause of my attacks. He said exrays and ultra sounds would not detect these and they are known to cause severe pain. When I went to research this type of hernia I could not find any information on it. Has anyone else heard of this type of hernia?
