Abstract [en]

Introduction and importance: Ovarian and fallopian tube indirect inguinal hernias are rare hernias encountered on surgical floor. Herein, we are reporting a rare happening of obstructed ovarian and fallopian tube indirect inguinal hernia in an unmarried female. Presentation of case: A 19 years old unmarried female presented to surgical emergency with complain of swelling in left inguinal region that was about 3 × 3 cm on visual inspection from last 4 days that was associated with menstruation. Abdominal ultrasound (USG) was showing left ovarian and fallopian tube indirect inguinal hernia with preserved internal follicles and intact vasculature. The diagnosis of obstructed ovarian and fallopian tube indirect inguinal hernia was made and diagnostic laparoscopy and left sided hernioplasty was performed. Ovary was retrieved back into abdominal cavity and stitched to lateral pelvic wall. Discussion: Inguinal hernia itself is a rare happening in females and the presence of ovary and fallopian tube along with other hernial content can become a topic of discussion due to rarity of this case. It is of paramount significance to diagnose such cases with great expertise in order to avoid long term complications in terms of preserving fertility among females. Early utilization of radiological investigations like USG abdomen and laparoscopic retrieval of adnexal structures are standard approach in management of such cases. Conclusion: Presence of ovary and fallopian tube in indirect inguinal hernia is a rare happening that need to be diagnosed and treated at earliest to avoid infertility among females.
