Sumario:A 34-year-old woman presented to the hospital emergency department complaining of abdominal pain for four days, more so in the left iliac fossa, and six episodes of vomiting for one day. Physical and sonographic examinations revealed an inguinal hernia containing a twisted gangrenous ovary with fallopian tube and partially developed uterus. The patient underwent an emergency hernia exploration with left oophorectomy, repositioning of the uterus with a fallopian tube, and herniorrhaphy without complications. A preoperative diagnosis based on history, physical examination, and ultrasonography allows for accurate surgical planning and corrective surgery without complications.
