Abstract

A giant inguinal hernia is an uncommon clinical challenge, particularly in developed countries where hernias rarely exceed 10 cm in size. In this present case, a 51-year-old male patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis experienced a 190-pound weight fluctuation, which exacerbated a recurrent inguinal hernia into a giant hernia of 25-30 cm. The patient's comorbidities of blindness and limited mobility likely contributed to delayed intervention and hernia growth. His surgical management required extensive hernia reduction and a repair with multiple meshes. This case highlights the impact of rapid weight changes on hernia progression and underscores the need for vigilant, interdisciplinary monitoring in high-risk patients.
