Inguinal hernia is a common surgical disease. Giant inguinoscrotal hernias are more unusual and impose significant impact on quality of life including difficulty with mobility, scrotal skin ulceration and bowel obstruction. Besides it is more challenging in terms of surgical management. Diagnosis of giant inguinoscrotal hernia is straight forward on clinical examination. Nevertheless, with the advent of CT scan, pre-operative contrast-enhanced CT scan is useful for ascertaining the hernia contents, its configuration and measuring the neck of hernia. We report a case of a patient with extremely huge irreducible right giant inguinoscrotal hernias.
