Saddlebag hernia.

Abstract

Saddlebag hernia occurs most commonly as a small indirect sac in association with an obvious direct inguinal hernia. It may be easily overlooked at operation. Hoguet's manoeuvre is the most satisfactory method of operative treatment of saddlebag hernia. It is suggested that an overlooked indirect sac associated with a direct inguinal hernia is a common cause of recurrent inguinal hernia.
