Special Sono-Case: A targeted ultrasound examination for suspected inguinal hernia in a penile transplant recipient.

Why this case matters

Transplanted tissue, vascular pedicles, postoperative scars, and altered anatomy demand careful scanning. Hernia maneuvers must be balanced against protection of the graft and its blood supply.

The case covers

• Pre-scan review of transplant anatomy
• Gentle dynamic inguinal assessment
• Protection and documentation of vascular pedicles
• Hernia contents, reducibility, complications, and urgent escalation
