Abstract
Introduction: It is rare for adult female patients to present with incarcerated inguinal hernias containing ovary, fallopian tube, or uterine tissue. Potential surgical treatment options for incarcerated inguinal hernias containing ovary, fallopian tube or uterine tissue include open inguinal hernia repair (IHR), laparoscopic or robotic IHR.
Case description: Herein, we report a case of an adult female presenting with a unilateral incarcerated inguinal hernia containing ectopic pregnancy. Patient was treated with laparoscopic lysis of adhesions, reduction of incarcerated ectopic pregnancy and unilateral salpingectomy. Patient then underwent robotic assisted transabdominal preperitoneal IHR (rTAPP-IHR).
Discussion: Minimally invasive laparoscopic salpingectomy and rTAPP-IHR can be safely performed in patients presenting with unilateral incarcerated inguinal hernia containing ectopic pregnancy.
