“…[3,5,12] A grievous sequelae of complicated inguinal hernias in children is infarction of the testes [ Figure 1] as a result of compression of its blood supply within the inguinal canal and this may occur in up to 30% of boys with incarcerated inguinal hernia. [7,8,14] This risk remains even after successful reduction. Testicular pain and swelling even in the absence of ultrasound evidence of infarction has also been reported.…”

Contents Doppler ultrasonography is an important tool in the andrological evaluation in humans; however, this method is not so extensively used by equine andrologists. Spectral or pulse Doppler is a useful non‐invasive method for the early diagnosis of subfertility problems in the male, especially those triggered by vascular disturbance. The identification of any disturbance in the blood flow of the testis is crucial for a correct diagnosis of various testicular and scrotal disorders but also to monitor the therapeutic outcome following treatment. The aim of this review is to provide an update on the current use of colour and spectral Doppler ultrasound in stallion andrology, and to promote the use of this technique during the soundness reproductive examination of the stallion, as this particular branch of reproductive medicine is receiving increasing interest.

“…This acute condition is often diagnosed Obstructed adult inguinal hernia causing testicular infarction is a very uncommon complication. This can affect in about 3 out of 10 boys with incarcerated hernias [5,6]. It is often sequalae of impaired blood supply within the inguinal canal.…”

Background Testicular infarction/gangrene is usually caused by testicular torsion. Strangulated inguinal hernia complicated with testicular infarction is unusual in adults in contrast to many reported cases involving pediatric patients. Case presentation We report an unusual case of testicular gangrene in an elderly man presented with abandoned right obstructed inguinoscrotal hernia. He had right open hernioplasty with right orchidectomy. Conclusion Obstructed adult inguinoscrotal hernia potentially leading to testicular gangrene, despite being uncommon sequalae. The surgeon should always routinely examine the testis during surgery for complicated hernia to prevent missed gangrenous testis behind.
