Abstract:
Inguinal hernia can be defined as the protrusion of the abdominal contents through the inguinal canal. It might be observed as a post-surgical complication. Hernias can be classified as either direct or indirect, each with distinct underlying etiologies and can be noted in all age groups with no particular demarcation. Inguinal hernias are common, but the presence of testis within the hernial sac in adults is a rare occurrence. This case reports a 28-year-old male presenting with severe pain in the inguinal region for the last two days. The pain was dull-aching and progressive in nature. The patient was diagnosed with an obstructed right inguinal hernia, which had progressively increased in size. He underwent successful management through Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair surgery.
