Incarcerated sigmoid colon with gangrenous appendices epiploicae: A rare case report

Abstract

Incarcerated inguinal hernia is a common diagnosis in patients presenting with a painful and not reducible groin mass. Sliding hernias are supposed to be more anatomically challenging for a surgeon than an uncomplicated inguinal hernias. The anatomical and physiological concept of sliding inguinal hernia is frequently misunderstood by surgeons of all levels of experience. Except in sliding hernia, the sigmoid colon is uncommonly found in an inguinal hernia.
