Giant inguinoscrotal hernia.
Giant inguinoscrotal hernia are uncommon in developed countries. They are defined as 'hernias that extend below the midpoint of the inner thigh in the standing position'. As well as the classic complications of inguinoscrotal hernia, patients will encounter difficulty in walking, sitting or lying down, with mobility dramatically restricted. patients will also often develop cutaneous complications such as irritative eczema, candidiasis, and gangrene or ulcers. When the ureter or bladder are contained in the hernia's sac, recurrent urinary tract infections may also occur.
