However, reports of colonoscopic incarceration within inguinal hernias are rare. Incarceration during colonoscopy is a critical condition, and attempting forced reduction may exacerbate complications; therefore, a careful approach is required. Here, we present a case of colonoscopic incarceration of a left inguinal hernia that was successfully reduced under fluoroscopic guidance, followed by elective endoscopic surgery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 74-year-old man presented for colonoscopy at a primary care clinic and was referred to our hospital for the incarceration of the colonoscope within the inguinal hernia. On arrival, the colonoscope remained in situ through the anus. Laboratory tests and imaging studies confirmed the absence of perforation. Manual pressure was applied under fluoroscopic guidance to successfully reduce the hernia and allow for scope extraction. No evidence of perforation was revealed in the follow-up fluoroscopic examination using a gastrografin enema. Six weeks later, the patient underwent definitive surgery for total extraperitoneal hernia repair.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A complication of colonoscopy is the incarceration of the colonoscope within the inguinal hernia, particularly in older men. Therefore, inquiring about the patient\u2019s history of inguinal hernia, particularly those accompanied by scrotal swelling, besides assessing the surgical history before performing a colonoscopy, is critical. Furthermore, recent trends include attempts at incarceration reduction under fluoroscopic guidance, with emergency surgery reserved for irreducible cases.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40792-024-02072-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,26]],"date-time":"2024-11-26T02:35:01Z","timestamp":1732588501000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Treatment of a left inguinal hernia with incarceration of the scope during colonoscopy: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6839-5711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryo","family":"Numoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kohei","family":"Taniguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshiro","family":"Imai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mitsuhiro","family":"Asakuma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideki","family":"Tomiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinya","family":"Fujiwara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshihiko","family":"Nakanishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takuya","family":"Hamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinsuke","family":"Masubuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hitoshi","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masaru","family":"Kawai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Kinoshita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinsho","family":"Morita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michihiro","family":"Hayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang-Woong","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2072_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2020.8958","volume":"3","author":"N Causada-Calo","year":"2020","unstructured":"Causada-Calo N, Bishay K, Albashir S, Al Mazroui A, Armstrong D.
