title: [Preparation and operative technique for giant inguino-scrotal hernia].
abstract: The authors present their experience during a successful operation of an inguino-scrotal giant hernia. The enormous hernia had been enlarging for 8 years. First, the abdominal wall was gradually expanded by creating a pneumoperitoneum. Then the abdominal circumference was increased by 16 cm using a polypropylene mesh implanted in a sub-lay position in the midline - thus enabling the repositioning of the exteriorated hernia content into the abdomen.
