title: Giant inguino scrotal hernia: a case report.
abstract: Giant inguino--scrotal hernia is largely a problem of developing countries. A case of an unusually giant inguino-scrotal hernia is reported highlighting the problems encountered in management. Orchidectomy, bowel resection and relaxing epigastric incision were successfully employed in repairing the hernia. Hernias may not be difficult to manage if they ar not neglected. Efforts of health education need intensifying in this direction. We propose thorough peri-operative pulmonary exercises to cut down the post-operative pulmonary morbidity.
