The authors report a case of giant inguinoscrotal hernia.
Problems arise in management for both the patient and the
surgeons because of the rarity of reported cases as there is no
standard surgical procedure in place for their treatment. A
literature review leads to a discussion of the various methods
of surgical intervention described to overcome the dilemma of
surgical repair.
Key words
Hernia; giant inguinoscrotal hernia; pneumoperitoneum.
