Abstract

We report three cases of colonoscope incarceration in a left inguinal hernia. In the first case, colonoscopy could be successfully performed with manual compression. The colonoscope could not be inserted in the other two cases. It is important to obtain a careful history and physical examination before colonoscopy. The scope must be carefully removed in patients with an inguinal hernia.
