We report two patients with left colonic obstruction and one patient with cecal obstruction caused by incarceration in inguinal hernias. None of the patients had colonic malignancies within the hernial sacs. Reduction of the hernias was followed by resolution of the bowel obstruction and successful hernial repair in all patients.
