Abstract

Giant pseudocyst is a rare type of complication following incisional hernia repair and its correct management is still unknown.Herein, we describe two unreported cases of giant pseudocyst after inguinal hernia repair. Both patients underwent surgical treatment with partial excision of the pseudocapsule. The two patients were free from recurrence after 6 and 10 months of follow up, respectively.Subtotal surgical removal of the pseudocapsule is a definitive treatment.
