Retrospective analysis of open preperitoneal mesh repair of complex inguinal hernias

A giant inguinal hernia is a rare clinical presentation in patients refusing hernia repair for different reasons during a long period. The appearance is remarkable, and the preoperative preparation and the surgery itself might be challenging. They can present in an emergency (hernia incarceration) or elective setting. Most of the patients are male, but exclusions exist. This is a rare case of a female patient with a giant inguinal hernia left untreated for 40 years.
