BACKGROUND Management of strangulated inguinal hernias require resection of the gangrenous small bowel loops and end-to-end anastomosis. We are presenting a case of spontaneous scrotal faecal fistula due to strangulated Richter's hernia [1] where we have used a patch of tunica with scrotal inner layer to reinforce the perforated ileum. This procedure has avoided the resection of bowel and also we found useful alternative tissue instead of omental patch.
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.
