An inguinoscrotal hernia is considered to be giant when it passes beyond the midpoint of the thigh in a standing position. It is a rare condition that can lead to complications such as obstruction and perforation. Here, we present the case of a 35-year-old male who was diagnosed with a giant inguinoscrotal hernia with transverse colon perforation peritonitis. The patient presented with acute abdomen and septic shock. On presentation, resuscitation was started and an emergency laparotomy was performed. Resection of the gangrenous bowel segment and end jejunostomy was done as damage control surgery. However, despite intensive care and efforts, the patient succumbed due to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). This is a rare case of a giant inguinoscrotal hernia with transverse colon perforation peritonitis, leading to MODS and mortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
