Laparoscopic extended-view totally extraperitoneal repair for sliding inguinal hernia with ovary and fallopian tube as content: A rare case

Female reproductive organs such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes are rarely encountered in the hernia sac, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Herniation of these structures may pose a significant risk of strangulation, torsion and infertility. Preserving fertility in such cases is of utmost importance, especially in women of reproductive age. In this report, we describe the case of a 31-year-old female who presented with an irreducible left inguinal hernia with ovary and fallopian tube as content, which was managed using the laparoscopic extended-view totally extraperitoneal repair.
