Abstract
Introduction:
Giant pseudocyst is a rare type of complication following incisional hernia repair and its correct management is still unknown.
Materials And Methods:
Herein, we describe two unreported cases of giant pseudocyst after inguinal hernia repair. Both patients underwent surgical treatment with partial excision of the pseudocapsule. The two patients were free from recurrence after 6 and 10 months of follow up, respectively.
Conclusion:
Subtotal surgical removal of the pseudocapsule is a definitive treatment.
