Abstract
Multiple recurrent inguinal hernia is a diagnostic and surgical challenge. In terms of addi-
tional incarceration of the recurrent hernia, few options for the surgeon are available. We
present a case of multiple recurrent left sided inguinal hernia in female patient presented
with clinical signs of mechanical bowel obstruction. Preoperative computed tomography of
the abdomen presented the hernia defect and also revealed the presence of textiloma in the
abdominal wall from previous hernia repair. Intraoperatively there were no signs of bowel
ischemia. Hernia defect was closed with resorbable mesh (bridging “in – lay” repair). Postoperative surgical site infection of the wound occurred. Patient was discharged from hospital
on day 17.
