Pantaloon Hernia in an Elderly Female: A Rare Experience for a Surgeon
Abstract: Hernia is defined as an abnormal out pouching of a viscera or tissue through a defect in its surrounding walls. Though hernia can occur anywhere in the body, the most common is Inguinal Hernia, with a higher predisposition towards male gender. Pantaloon hernia is a rare entity and is a combination of two adjacent hernial sacs. This report includes a 77 year old female who was diagnosed, intra operatively, with Pantaloon Hernia. She underwent Lichtenstein Hernioplasty for the same, under spinal anesthesia.
