Abstract

Inguinal hernia operations are compulsory surgical skill assessment for residence in surgical field and most centres practice day care services for such cases. Giant inguinal hernias usually occur in neglected long standing diseases and repair of these condition added challenges in term of content reduction as well as managing postoperative complications. This case was a unique case of a giant inguinal hernia which was left untreated for 40 years. The contents of the hernia which include greater omentum, small and large bowel were reduced successfully after extension of the deep inguinal ring. The patient was ventilated and paralyzed for 48 hours in view of anticipating intraabdominal hypertension. Post operatively the patient recovered well and discharged on Day 6 post operatively.
