Abstract EN
Hemoperitoneum is a rare complication of open inguinal hernia repair.
This is the third reported case of this complication attributed to the same bleeding source: Sampson’s artery.
Sampson’s artery courses along the round ligament of the uterus in the inguinal canal of females, originating from the arcade formed between the uterine and ovarian arteries.
Usually obliterated in postembryonic development, this artery can persist in some adult female patients.
Disruption of Sampson’s artery can lead to hemoperitoneum following ligation of the uterine round ligament during open inguinal hernia repair in females.
This case report describes a third confirmed case of hemoperitoneum complicating an open inguinal hernia repair.
We review all three reported cases to date and discuss the recurring signs, symptoms, epidemiologic factors, and diagnostic findings associated.
Our review suggests that females of childbearing age, particularly those in the peripartum period, are most at risk of developing this rare complication.
