A rare psoas hernia: endoscopic diagnosis and management.
Of the various traumatic injuries associated with blunt abdominal trauma, traumatic hernias form a rare and small group. We present a case report of a hernia in the psoas muscle in a 26-year-old lady diagnosed during extraperitoneal repair for inguinal hernia. The hernia was managed laparoscopically by reduction of contents and mesh placement over the defect. This is the first such case reported in the literature till date.
