A Rare Case of Undescended Testicle Presenting As Incarcerated Inguinal Hernia – A Case Report

Abstract

Inguinal hernias are a common problem all over the world and can affect people of all age groups and gender. Mostly they are uncomplicated and can be easily managed surgically. However, in case of complications arising like irreducibility, incarceration, obstruction or strangulation, the patient requires an urgent surgery. We report a rare case of an incarcerated right inguinal hernia in an elderly male who was explored and was found to be having the undescended right testicle as the content of the incarcerated hernia. The rarity of the case warrants reporting.
