[Inguinal hernia containing uterus and ovary in a young girl].

Inguinal hernias are a common finding in young children. In female patients, these hernias may contain the ovary in some cases, particularly in early childhood. In very rare instances, the uterus may also be found. We present the case of a 3-year-old girl with a left-sided inguinal hernia. During herniotomy, both the left ovary and the uterus were found to be adherent to the hernia sac. For this reason, a laparoscopic approach was chosen for safe evaluation and reduction. Awareness of the potential herniation of internal reproductive organs in young girls is essential, particularly in case of signs of incarceration. Early surgical intervention is recommended to prevent ischemic damage. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition, careful intraoperative assessment and the consideration of minimally invasive techniques.
