Strangulated inguinal hernia complicated with testicular infarction is unusual in adults in contrast to many reported cases involving pediatric patients.Case presentationWe report an unusual case of testicular gangrene in an elderly man presented with abandoned right obstructed inguinoscrotal hernia. He had right open hernioplasty with right orchidectomy.ConclusionObstructed adult inguinoscrotal hernia potentially leading to testicular gangrene, despite being uncommon sequalae. The surgeon should always routinely examine the testis during surgery for complicated hernia to prevent missed gangrenous testis behind.
