    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2006 Dec; 60(12):1681-2. PubMed ID: 16836646.
    Abstract:
    Many different pathological processes can present as an incarcerated inguinal hernia. We present an unusual case of sigmoid diverticular abscess presenting as a left incarcerated inguinal hernia and review the literature on this subject. This was treated with open drainage of the abscess cavity and laparotomy with segmental sigmoid resection and primary anastomosis.
