Post-operative groin and scrotal hematoma is an infrequent condition after inguinal hernia repair but its rate is
progressively rising due to the increase of patients with high bleeding risk (coagulopathy or antithrombotic therapy) [1].
We therefore think that it is useful to share our recent experience of treatment of giant post-operative groin and scrotum
hematoma; this complication occurred after a Lichtenstein open hernia repair in a patient on antithrombotic therapy
(Warfarin®) due to congenital coagulopathy.

The remains that typically compose the human fossil record often bear cracks, damage, and deformations. The recent rapid development of ‘virtual anthropology’ has provided innovative tools to manage, study, and preserve cultural and natural heritage. Such tools include computerized tomography (CT), laser scanning, photogrammetry, 3D imaging, and rapid prototyping. These approaches can contribute to any archaeological context from the discovery of artefacts to research, preservation, and dissemination.
