Laparoscopic relief of reduction en masse followed by elective preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair with Modified Kugel ™ Patch.
INTRODUCTION: Reduction en masse is a rare complication of inguinal hernia. This condition is defined as the displacement of a strangulated hernia mass into the preperitoneal space.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 62-year-old man presented with severe abdominal pain after a forcible reduction of an incarcerated right inguinal hernia. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan suggested strangulated bowel. Emergency exploratory laparoscopy was performed and the incarcerated bowel was successfully released. Elective preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair using the Modified Kugel™ Patch was performed under laparoscopic guidance. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
DISCUSSION: Reduction en masse should be considered when abdominal pain persists after a difficult reduction of inguinal hernia. Laparoscopic guidance led to the definitive repair of the inguinal hernia with reduction en masse.
CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic relief can be an efficient therapeutic option for the management of this condition. In addition, Modified Kugel™ Patch repair with ligation of the hernia sac could be a reasonable treatment.
