| ABSTRACT |  | ||||||
: Arguably, one of the most prevalent surgical problems across the world is Inguinal Hernias (IH). They are defined as a protrusion of the viscus or part of the contents of the abdominal or peritoneal cavity, inferiorly through a weakness in the abdominal wall. Among the various types of hernias, IH are known to be more common across both genders, but more so in men. Here, we report an incidental finding of a large inguino-scrotal swelling that was observed in an 80-year-old male cadaver during routine dissection of the pelvic region; it was not reducible and contained loops of small bowel within the hernia sac. Although IH is a common pathology, the size and extent of this IH make it a unique case study. | |||||||
