Giant Inguino-scrotal Hernia: Repair and Management

Abstract

An 84-year-old Malay gentleman presented with signs of intestinal obstruction secondary to obstructed right giant inguinoscrotal hernia. He was subjected for emergency inguinal hernia repair with intra-operative findings of multiple loop of dilated bowel with thickened omentum within the sac. Repair of the hernia defect with strengthening of the posterior wall was carried out. Post-operatively the patient was managed in ICU due to development of intra-abdominal hypertension. The presentation and management of giant inguino-scrotal hernia will be further discussed.
