Excerpt

Giant inguinoscrotal hernias are a difficult and challenging surgical problem. The physiological changes associated with the loss of domain can pose a risk for increased complications during surgery and the post-operative period [1]. We describe a relatively simple technique that can be used for unilateral or bilateral giant inguinoscrotal hernias. …
