title: Traumatic acute incarcerated scrotal hernia.
abstract: A 23-year-old male presented to the ER with left scrotal pain and swelling after being struck with a knee in the left inguinoscrotal area during a basketball game. Upon examination, an incarcerated scrotal hernia with necrotic segment of small bowel was found. Bowel was resected and direct reanastomosis performed. This appears to be the first such case in the English-language literature.
