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.
