We report a patient who presented with giant right inguinal hernia with bilateral hydrocele for 25 years. He had no cardiorespiratory illnesses. He was taken up for surgery under general anesthesia after preoperative respiratory exercises. Sliding hernia with entire greater omentum, small bowel, and appendix as contents was identified. Meshplasty after omentectomy with bilateral subtotal excision of sac, right orchidectomy, and scrotoplasty were done. Giant inguinoscrotal hernias pose significant problems while replacing bowel contents because of the increase in intraabdominal and intrathoracic pressures. Recurrence is another complication seen after successful surgical management. Various techniques such as preoperative pneumoperitoneum, debulking abdominal contents with extensive bowel resections, or omentectomy and phrenectomy have been tried. Postoperative elective ventilation is also needed in many cases. We describe simple reduction with omentectomy as a viable technique in this patient. He did not need elective ventilation due to preoperative respiratory exercises and preparation and review of the literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-13-00083.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,8]],"date-time":"2014-12-08T16:00:08Z","timestamp":1418054408000},"page":"560-564","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Giant Inguinoscrotal Hernia\u2014Report of a Rare Case With Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Vilvapathy Senguttuvan","family":"Karthikeyan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarath Chandra","family":"Sistla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duvuru","family":"Ram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheik Manwar","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nagarajan","family":"Rajkumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"i0020-8868-99-5-560-b01","series-title":"Surg Clin North Am","first-page":"307","article-title":"Scrotal reconstruction for giant inguinal hernias","volume":"64","author":"Hodgkinson\n              DJ,","year":"1984","unstructured":"Hodgkinson\n              DJ, \n            \n              McIlrath\n              DC. \n          \n          Scrotal reconstruction for giant inguinal hernias.
