Abstract
Retroperitoneal hematoma is a possibly fatal condition that is frequently observed as a complication of procedures such as femoral artery catheterizations. We currently present a case of massive retroperitoneal hematoma after inguinal hernioplasty using Prolene<sup>®</sup> Hernia System mesh in a warfarin-treated patient. Especially in the case of inguinal hernioplasty in a patient receiving warfarin therapy, surgeons must pay close attention to prevent hemorrhage from the preperitoneal space, or they may opt for a different technique, such as the Lichtenstein method or laparoscopic approach.
