Reduction En-Masse of Inguinal Hernia After Self-Reduction

Abstract Background: Reduction en-mass (REM) is one of the rare complications of inguinal hernia reduction. Case presentation: Our patient is a 50-year-old man with a history of inguinal hernia, who had been referred with the periumbilical pain that radiated to the right lower quadrant following hernia replacement by himself. Conclusions: Finally, REM diagnosis was made based on clinical examination and imaging, and surgical treatment was performed. in very rare cases, hernia was reduced by patients themselves. In this case study, a patient with a history of recurrent inguinal hernia was reported. The patient himself reduced his hernia the last time. In CT of the abdomen and pelvis, evidence of sac wall and small intestine fibrosis was seen as closed loop.
