Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal management of giant inguinoscrotal hernia with loss of domain.

A giant inguinoscrotal hernia extends below the level of the midpoint of the thigh, in an upright position. They are usually due to the neglect of the patient and fear of surgical intervention. Patients typically present with lower urinary tract symptoms, ulcers over the scrotum caused due to dribbling of urine and rarely with obstruction or strangulation. Here, we present a similar case of an uncomplicated giant inguinoscrotal hernia with a Tanaka index of 74% who was preoperatively optimised with BOTOX (BOtulinum TOXin-A) and pre-operative progressive pneumoperitoneum and was managed laparoscopically with enhanced totally extraperitoneal repair. This signifies the importance of optimisation of the patients, especially with loss of domain help in managing such cases without any resection of bowel or omentum. Moreover, this proper pre-operative optimisation also helped us in managing such a case laparoscopically.
