Giant inguinal hernia is one of the most unusual and significantly challenging in terms of surgical management. It is defined as an inguinal hernia that extends below the midpoint of inner thigh when the patient is in standing position.
The physiological changes associated with the loss of domain can pose a risk for increased complications during surgery and the post-operative period.

We present a case of a giant right inguinoscrotal hernia; after CT examination, spirometry, blood gas analysis, echocardiography and anesthetic evaluation was treated with a single-stage repair using posterior component separation technique and transversus abdominis release.
