HighlightsGiant inguinoscrotal hernias are a rare entity in modern clinical practice mainly because of the patient’s neglect.Our patient had a type II giant inguinoscrotal hernia extending below the midline between mid-inner thigh and suprapatellar bone lines.We avoided preoperative or intraoperative procedures for the lengthening of the abdominal wall.Despite the longevity and size of the hernia, we avoided a debulking procedure, instead we performed a lower midline incision and connected it with an extended right inguinal incision.Patient’s recovery was uneventful with no complications or signs of recurrence at 6 month follow up.
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.
