Surgical management of giant inguinoscrotal hernias

چکیده
Inguinal hernia continues to be the most common hernia. In majority of cases the swelling goes undetected thereby allowing it to assume a bigger size. Huge inguinoscrotal hernias which are traditionally described as giant inguinoscrotal hernias are still encountered in day to day general surgical practice. The contents usually vary from omentum to a significant portion of either the small bowel or even the large bowel. Transverse colon is an uncommon content of the inguinal hernia sac. A case of giant inguinoscrotal hernia containing the transverse colon and omentum is presented in order to highlight the possibility of this rare content in a giant inguinoscrotal hernia.
