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.

Background: Ventral hernias, particularly umbilical hernias, are the second most common type of abdominal wall hernias after inguinal hernias. Surgical intervention using mesh placement has become standard due to its effectiveness in reducing recurrence. Among mesh techniques, the sublay approach is widely practiced through both open and laparoscopic methods.

Introduction: Restoration of surgical capacity is essential to post-COVID-19 recovery. This study explored the use and safety of anaesthesia options for inguinal hernia surgery, a common tracer condition, to describe current global practice and highlight opportunities to build the capacity of health systems.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of an international prospective cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent elective inguinal hernia surgery.

Introduction: Glycogen storage disease type IX (GSD type IX) is caused by a deficiency in phosphorylase b kinase (PHK) and is classified into hepatic (IXa-c) and muscular (IXd) subtypes. GSD type IXd leads to exercise intolerance, rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuria owing to impaired glycogen breakdown. It is a rare and mild metabolic disorder, with only 19 reported cases of mutations.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is linked to various esophageal and extra-esophageal complications. While GERD is theoretically a potential risk factor for abdominal hernias, current evidence is limited. Observational studies have suggested associations between GERD and both congenital diaphragmatic hernia and hiatal hernia.

De Garengeot hernia, characterized by appendiceal incarceration within a femoral canal hernia sac, is a rare condition with high risks of strangulation. Traditional open repair remains standard, but laparoscopic approaches offer minimally invasive alternatives. However, limited evidence exists on combining laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) with biologic mesh for this condition.
