A 55-year-old man came to this institution complaining of right inguinal pain that had lasted one day, April 28, 1992. Another patient, a 45-year-old man, complained of right inguinal pain lasting for 23 hours on May 11, 1998. Sonography showed a hyperechoic mass in the inguinal hernial sac of each patient, and no sign of abdominal intestinal obstruction. The patients underwent emergency surgery under a diagnosis of incarcerated hernia of the omentum, and the incarcerated omenta were resected. Preoperative diagnosis of hernial contents is important. We prefer to conduct preoperative sonographic examination of patients with incarcerated inguinal herniae.
