We present a case of a giant inguinoscrotal hernia. The patient presented with acute renal failure secondary to obstructive uropathy caused by a large inguinoscrotal hernia. It was treated by reduction of its contents through a right transverse abdominal incision below the arcuate line. The hernial sac contained loops of small bowel along with its mesentery, appendix, caecum and ascending colon. The defect was repaired using Marlex mesh.
