Strangulated right tubo-ovarian inguinal hernia. A case report
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Inguinal hernias are the protrusion of an abdominal organ or preperitoneal adipose tissue through the inguinal canal, affecting 75% of all abdominal wall hernias. The lifetime risk of developing an inguinal hernia ranges from 3% to 6% for women. They can be detected through clinical examination. The presence of ovaries and fallopian tubes is infrequent, especially in women of childbearing age. In a 43-year-old female patient, an indirect right incarcerated right inguinal hernia was found, leading to emergency surgery. Adnexal entrapment in indirect inguinal hernias is rare in adult women, with most cases involving the pediatric population. Ovarian and fallopian tube inguinal hernias are often accompanied by developmental abnormalities of the genital tract, and surgical intervention is recommended. Keywords: Inguinal hernias, adnexa uteri, groin.
